Stood in line at the front among other groups waiting to be greeted and seated. Never got acknowledged as countless workers passed by ignoring us. No sign that says we need to be on a list. Stood for 20 minutes and when we asked the blonde host what’s going on she had a bad attitude, didn’t apologize and said we need to be on the list she makes. How do we get on the list if she purposely ignores us and everyone else in line? Our group and others all left.

Some friends and I haven’t seen each other in a while and went for dinner here to catch up. We were waited on by a girl with red bangs and she was amazing. There was a mix up regarding the All You Can Eat Pasta, but she made sure that issue was promptly fixed and we continued to enjoy our dinners. My husband had two bowls of chicken fettuccine Alfredo and was stuffed!! The food is phenomenal and very filling! Don’t go here if you want to leave hungry haha. Our server made sure our drinks and bread were always full and offered us more food than we could ever dream of eating. Truly a wonderful experience and I will definitely be sure to return next time I’m in town!!!!
