    It is of course our annual celebration of the holidays out at the mall. So once a year we eat here and this time I tried something new, it was good, and what my hubby got was his favorite.

    Waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed and unorganized. Food took a while to come out and it wasn’t as hot/fresh as expected given the amount of time we waited.

    The restaurant used to be upscale. Now it's dirty, the food takes forever to come out to the table and is cold when it does arrive. And the staff were inundated by rude and loud shshoplifters. I would not drive 2 hrs to eat there ever again. #disapointedisanunderstatment

    Restaurant was very busy and food took much longer than expected (30+ min from ordering meal to food coming out to the table. Staff were trying their best but appeared understaffed (may be in the kitchen).

    Due to the prevalence and escalation of violence at the mall where the restaurant is located, we will not be returning.

    Food was better than expected and portions were huge. We enjoyed the storms that came through and being there later in the evening meant that it wasn’t too crowded or loud.
