This is yet another beautiful eatery with immense potential that is horribly let down by abusive upper management. As someone who is friends with people who have been employed here, I've learned many upsetting things about the owner, Cat. My friends are wonderful servers with integrity who were excited about working in such a cool place but unfortunately had nothing but bad things to say about their experiences.
Cat is easily aggravated and openly belittles staff during service, regularly (and loudly) telling them that they are incompetent and unknowledgeable about the menu when they are following guidelines and recipes that she has set.

The cashier then said it can't go into my machine then she grabbed the bag of buns and didn't ask if I had another payment to pay. What a rude person. I will surely make a complaint to the manager because I use to be a cashier myself and if the bill is attached and have all four sides people can...
Read moreI waited 10 minutes at the entrance only to be told that lunch for one can only be accommodated on a high top or at the sushi bar and that none of the numerous four tops that were open and available. This place is inside a casino, which means you have to park a mile away and come in and it’s really only good if you’re playing at the casino which is a smoking casino so there’s that as well so...
