    We stopped coming here for our hour lunch break because 20 minutes will pass until someone actually comes to the table to acknowledge you and take your order. 20 more minutes for your drink and food to get there. This happens even when it isn't that busy. Sucks because we actually love the food.

    So we visited this place at 6:00PM on a Saturday night. We just got back from my daughter's hockey game and we had tickets to the 7:00pm Princeton Hockey game. Once we sat down our server came up and greated us her name was Abby and Abby did an AMAZING job. We told her that we wanted to order right away as we had to get out of there fairly quick. She said she understood and would help us the best she could. She took our drink and food order and was off Every 5 minutes she came back to check on us and give us an update of how long our food had. I asked her to have the check ready with the food and she did. We were seated, served, and cashed out in 40 minutes. That 40 minutes was some of the BEST service I have had in awhile. Abby didn't try to sell us or sell herself she listened to our needs and fulfilled whatever she could. The food for the most part was great as well. I listed the food as a 4 star simply cause the steak was drowned in butter and the fries were VERY bland otherwise delicious

    The food was all clearly heated up frozen food. The chicken from the chicken and waffles was dry and barely edible. The appetizer sampler is just Sysco's finest. The waiter had horrible breath. Way overpriced for what it was.

    Chose this place as the locale was convenient, pictures and prior reviews were great. I am pretty sure our server was high, but that's cool, that wasn't the overall problem. What was not cool was the lack of service. We asked for a refill, and never got it. Our glasses were completely dry by the time we left. The server never even mentioned that he forgot or offered to refill at any time when he did show his face. We requested a couple of items for our meals, but never received them. The times between seeing the server and attempting to ask for something were far and between. We ended up asking someone else for our check so we could finally leave. Food was ehhh. The atmosphere I can feel was excellent if everything else came together.

    Wanted to like the restaurant, it has a cool vibe and decor. The place was empty.. maybe 6 tables seated the whole time we were there.. yet after an hour from ordering we find out our order was never placed with the kitchen.. what was odd was that the waitress literally sat at our table a few times to just hang out and chat… no food.. Waitress tried to blame it on the kitchen when it was clearly not their issue as the other 5 tables were able to dine issue free. Weird… and not the experience a customer should have at a restaurant… we came to eat
