Bony-Lee非洲象牙海岸小廚房 — Restaurant in Hualien City

My friends and I arrived during lunchtime. There were six of us. My biggest complaint is the service. If you’re going to charge a service fee, make sure the service is good. We tried to order off of the bar menu while at the bar but was told it was only for the evening which the sign didn't state clearly. Also on the menu, one my friends tried to order the kabobs but was also told it was only for the evening. Again this was not stated in the menu. After that our friend left to go somewhere else.
