    The soup was a delicate herbal broth rich with tomato flavor but not weighed down by any cream like can ruin so many other similar soups. The menu is provided verbally upon arrival as it is adjusted frequently. The salad was a basic house salad that was nonetheless reasonably fresh.

    So the incident that happened today with “Dior” Was very hurtful. She accused my family and I of lying on some items that were not either in the bag or made incorrectly. She proceeded to yell at me and tell me to bring back the food cause she needs to make sure everything is correct. She is upset because I have accused her and the team on messing up my food in the past, and also my food was stolen on February of last year, but nothing was done. She was so disrespectful to me by yelling at me in front of people. She even smiled in the video being so unprofessional unfortunately, my camera doesn’t have a filter to hide the ugly

    This is not the location to go to if you are expecting a restroom when you get there. This is a mostly takeout location with extremely limited bar type seating. Mostly occupied by people that want to chat loudly or sit with a beverage for about an hour.
