We made a reservation to go see the haunted house we received three email confirmation confirmations we paid for parking was sitting in the parking lot. We called the restaurant and they inform us we’re closed last minute. I would never ever patron this restaurant so disrespectful they offered us a free dinner in May. We’re here in the parking lot now with no food for my autistic son.

Unfortunately it was actually terrible. The food was over 40 minutes late. The plates arrived very separately from one another. Portions small. Chicken on Cesar was cold, dry, thin and hard, mostly inedible. I asked two servers for olive oil to try to moisten the dry meat, but they disappeared. So my husband had to go to the kitchen doorway to ask for it. His fish tacos came out even later, and they too were cold.
Each taco had just one small dried, hard strip of old looking fried fish on them. Not fresh or appetizing. The Fries came out even later, and they too were hard and cold to the touch. Nothing we ordered was made timely or fresh. We were very ignored and surprised at how badly it was run. Everything looked 'slapped together' at best.
We tried to inquire and get helped, but the staff were noplace to be found. Twice my husband was forced to leave his seat to go look to outside to find someone to assist us. When someone finally arrived, she was edgy, impatient and borderline 'snotty'.
The excuse was that they had a larger party outside. Nice !
Finally the Owner/Manager comes over to apologize (we think, considering everything). But not.
Instead he was EXTREMELY loud, crude and beyond unprofessional. He was openly abusive.
He spoke to us in a very insulting and condescending manner for all to hear. Instead of just politely apologizing for basically everything being wrong; he very loudly challenged us and talked over my husband and myself. He was obnoxious and openly rude.
We were very, very uncomfortable, upset and it felt bullying. We wanted to leave.
Then as he's dismissing us and walking away, he yells out 'its on me', 'Have a good trip back to Brooklyn "
We're from Westchester.
But irregardless, what is that supposed to be, a dig of sorts?
So ABSOLUTELY never again !
Unfortunately all they have going for them are the views.
