No attention from the server Lucas after the initial order was taken I had to remind one of the servers that I was still waiting for part of my order after almost 20 minutes . No follow up about how things were if I wanted another drink or anything else off the menu . I won’t be returning anytime soon even though it’s only half a block from my apartment…. So disappointing.
