    Very Skeptical of trying this place because of reviews, but we gave it a try anyways.

    #1 none of the staff hardly knew English,(Bad Thing to some)

    (Good Reviews)
    they sat us and gave us our drinks right away,even filled them up on great timing,

    The lady in charge of our section who filled up drinks and picked up plates was very polite and very prompt on drinks and dishes.

    Restaurant was very clean,

    (FOOD)
    To us food was delicious, there was some things that could have been cooked better of course,but the food was great.
    The desserts could have been better same  for their fruits.

    But we would definitely return.

    Be careful of this place they will attach extra charges after you are done eating. I was charged extra two separate times. One time they fixed it however, today I was told it was an extra gratuity fee. They should tell you this ahead of time. I'm leaving a tip on the table and being charged on my bill.
    They don't even wait on you at this place. You have to ask them to clear the plates. Horrible customer service and way too pricey. I won't be going back.

    This place has poor customer service. We were not properly greeted and the employees never once checked in on how we were doing while we ate. The food was not very good. If you are a VEGETARIAN, STAY AWAY!!!! I'm a vegetarian and there were only a few options for food. Overall my two other group members who do eat meat said the food wasn't that good.
