We came here on Christmas eve, when we walked in the hostess from the moment she took us to our table she never said one word. Her facial expression and everything was dull, even after we wished her a Happy Holidays greeting. Now our waiter and food was wonderful. The front facing person should be joyous not the face of no personality otherwise our food and server was awesome!
