Run away, don't go into this restaurant!!!Sloppy dishes, with very low-end ingredients and products. Cold dishes. Bad taste of food.Traces of products on glasses.General cleanliness of the premises deplorable.I'm not talking about the toilets, which are absolutely filthy, with a pestilential smell and puddles on the floor.

I used to go here all the time before Covid with friends and family. Sadly over the years the service seems to get worse and worse so we rarely ever go, and the food lacks flavor. We went today only because we had a giftcard and the service was so slow. We rarely got checked on and it felt like forever in between refills or appetizer to entree. We felt like we were constantly looking for the wait staff. They were not busy either.My salad was good but the steamed pork dumplings were cold and lacked flavor. My husbands parmesean crusted chicken over Mac and cheese was super bland with very little seasoning.Environment is still super cute and everyone seems to have a smile but we will not be returning.

The place was not busy, only around 15 people. Waited over 25 minutes for dinner, wait staff never checked on us and the 2nd round of drinks took 20 minutes to get and they weren't what we ordered, even in different glasses. When we questioned the waiter, he actually argued with us. To top off the evening, I can't count how many flying insects we killed

I enjoyed the restaurant, the steak was very good, I didn't care for the crab cake. The salad and vegetables were outstanding. I could have made a meal from the vegetables by themselves. Our server was polite and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.

If you want a martini of any style this is the place! Listen I know it's in the mall, but pay no mind to that fact! It's amazing, great food items including the crab blt that's consistently perfect. But my shining star is any drink I order at this spot. They have an extensive martini menu which I beg you order at least one from! This visit I enjoyed the sour apple and perfectly peach martinis. Strong, but well balanced cocktails. We will continue to pick this restaurant and bar as a local favorite.

I can only rate my experience but I was with a group. The folks who ordered onion soup and those who ordered steaks were very happy. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp...it was bland and the shrimp were metallic tasting and undercooked. The bill arrived as two checks but took forever to reconcile as parts of the meal were on one check and parts on the other. Not very impressed for a place as pricey as it is.

Stopped in for quick dinner before movies… We had a very enjoyable meal. Service was very good… we both had burgers which were exceptional ( although a component of my burger should have been heated more than it was) Atmosphere was very nice… and A+ for cleanliness… Pricing was reasonable and the menu had a wonderful variety of options.. Would highly recommend

Food was tolerable but what a waste of money, menu is basic and they used the same sauce for almost everything I would not
