    It was New Year’s Eve when the food & service tend to be below average everywhere but they exceeded all expectations all around. Wee organized, the food was good we will try it on a regular evening.

    Been here for years and last night was my worst experience yet. For a New Year’s party it was quiet, could not even hear any music, service was terrible. Family would be served food and no utensils. No water and would have to ask your server multiple times for the same thing. Genuinely was extremely disappointed with yesterday’s cost and experience. At midnight everyone didn’t even know it was midnight and guests left right after since it was completely dead. I have never experienced such a bad dining situation. Let’s not mention they lacked a lot of sanitary training but not to go into detail, they need a lot of training and for an event like this they need extra staff as well as music or something to lighten up the mood. I will probably not be going back for another new years as paying the cost and taking the risk isn’t a cheap one.
