We came in here for lunch 01/06/26. The food was ok the restaurant was clean but what bugs me is when the manager will go around and collect dirty plates and cups from people she left our plates on our table even though she walked by quiet a few times. She deliberately left our table messy with plates on it. Someone should retrain her on how service should be
