What was supposed to be a celebration for my best friend this afternoon ended up being such a disappointment. We planned on drinks, a round of shots, an appetizer, food, dessert and more drinks. Unfortunately due to our server taking so long retrieving our food order, we were too hungry to even stay longer. With 3 servers and 5 tables in the restaurant, I would have hoped she had paid a bit more attention to us. Instead I had to stare at her endlessly until the manager finally urged her to check on her tables. Had she not urged her to do so, I can imagine she would have kept scrolling on Instagram for at least another 15 minutes. All in all, the drinks came fast and the bill even quicker, but since I had to squeeze in my two requests as fast as I could (one of which she walked away from in the middle of my sentence and pretended she didn’t hear me), I don’t believe she deserved an 18% tip. I wish I didn’t have her breathing down my neck as I chose a tip option. Food was great. Would appreciate a little more attention if I were to ever return.

Kateryna was a great server today. It was busy and she found us a spot and was very helpful with our orders. She also made sure everytime our drinks were close to empty to come by and refill them. Very good service from her and we greatly appreciate it. Thanks Kateryna!
