The food was amazing. I got the red snapper and it...

Terrible customer service. Weird smell in the restaurant and mouse traps in the customer area. Clearly have a rodent problem. This restaurant was on my must go list when I planned my trip to Indy but I was hugely disappointed. Idk how this place has such...
