The waiter answered some questions impatiently as though he didn't want to be bothered. For example, when asked about the beer selection, the waiter shruged and said beer, then beer-beer. When asked if he could be more specific, he named off two brands. Very inadequate explanations given (by menu and the waiter)as to how many people certain selections would serve. Some at our table ordered entres that served far more than 2 people. We were surprised because we had asked for a clarification before ordering. To their credit, the manager did give us a $50.00 gift card. In the future, I would ask that the $50.00 be taken off the bill. Overall, not as pleasant of an experience as we had anticipated.

Besides the overpaid average food, they lost the keys of our car.....we spent hours to look for it and we found it on the side walk next to the car...restaurant could not find the valet and they were complaining about the valet company.....never go there...if you go, do not leave your car to the valet!
