Read moreSome thing is not right with this place! My wife and I were seated at our table after waiting about an hour after arriving at the restaurant. we placed our order then about half hour later the waitress was finally walking towards our table with our food when she walked right passed us and placed one of the meals on another table in front of a customer where the customer is speaking inches away from the food and then it gets touched by the customer. the waitress finally realized she was at the wrong table, picks up the plate then places in front of my wife on the table. my wife and i look at each other with a puzzled look on our faces as we can not believe she took food away from one table and placed it on ours. now we are in the middle of a pandemic, seated 6 feet from other tables, waitress wearing masks and this waitress just placed this potentially contaminated where a customer was talking inched from it and handled the plate. so I tell the waitress that i could't believe she is offering this plate of food to us after it was placed on another table. she says i can get you another one. now my wife and i had only 15 left to eat as we had an appointment within half an hour. we mentioned that to the waitress that we could not wait any longer so she left the food on our table. my wife did not touch her food as she was disgusted at what just happened. shortly after i got up, paid for my order and again mentioning that the plate of food should of never been placed on our table after being taken from another. they did not seem to care. very careless place and they really need to take this pandemic seriously. i would never recommend...

We were not acknowledged or greeted. There were only a couple tables occupied. We waited for some time while they talked about the customer's son sneaking off to go swimming. We waited so long another group of 3 came in and sat down. Finally she stopped talking and turned around. She went to the group who had just sat, greeted them, gave them clean placemats and menus. She glanced our way and left the room. A server must be aware of their surroundings at all times to do a good job. It was probably close to the worst service we have ever experienced! My husband and I decided to leave. I can't comment on the food as I was never even...
