    I was at this restaurant last night for my company Christmas dinner, everything went very well, good service and food.... until.... took a to go box for my leftovers, heated them up today and when I was eating the mashed potatoes I felt something strange at my throat, it was a big piece of plastic that I almost chocked on, threw the rest of meal in garbage, quite upsetting because everything was good until that happened

    Visited on Nov 4 with friend and his family Had Halibut off the menu. It was not halibut, likely Haddock, both white fish but quite different and quite differently priced. Personally find those misrepresentations quite grevious would never go back here

    Went for happy hour this past Friday, my 3 sisters accompanied me. Fries and pot stickers were cold, tuna tacos just okay, edamame was fine. Drinks were fine. Been coming there for a number of years. This time it wasn’t so good at all…

    Very disappointed with the service. We were seated and waited for 30 minutes, and even though the restaurant was not busy, no waitress ever came to our table. . We finally left because no one bothered to serve us. Completely unacceptable services.
