I will never step foot in this restaurant again. In December I visited the restaurant for the 3rd time due to its convenient location from my home. The service much like it always had been in the past, was very slow. Once I was seated at the bar I waited 13 mins before even being served a glass of water. When I asked to speak to the manager a lady of Asian decent walked over. As I told her this was my 3rd time visiting the restaurant and I was unpleased with the level of service she said that I could find another place to eat. I was blown away by her comment. She then held up a picture that she had found in her phone of an African American male and said that it was myself. She then proceeded to accuse me of dinning and dashing a few nights before. I explained to her that the picture was not of me and that all African Americans do not look alike. I then proceeded to leave as she became aggressive and began to move closer to me as an attempt to block me in between the bar and a large concrete post were I was seated.

Additionally, it took ~15 min to get our card back because the kiosk went down. We were there for an hour and a half, which really ruined our night as we were going somewhere else after. It wasn't worth the time or the $70 for 1 appetizer and 2 dishes. Honestly would give it 1 star if they hadn't given us the complimentary food. The staff was very friendly though and were aware of our wait time, so definitely wasn't their fault. I do understand that this is a fairly new place and that most of the patrons seemed to take their times and chat, which definitely could have contributed to the...
