  Last night, a few friends and I went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday. After being seated, we received our first impression of our waitress, Avielle. She seemed very cold, irritated, and bothered by the fact that she had to serve our table. After she left to gather our drinks, we were all puzzled but figured maybe we were reading the interaction wrong. However, the behavior continued throughout the entire time she was serving us. Each of us ordered food at different times. By the time the fourth person received her food — and hadn’t even taken her first bite — Avielle asked if she could close us out. At that point, we were waiting for a fifth person to arrive. We initially thought she might be closing out for the evening, but Avielle continued to serve new tables, which made her request seem odd. Once she brought us the bill, we handed her a gift card with $25 on it and a $100 bill. She returned and loudly stated twice that there was $9 left over, as if the expectation was that this amount would be her tip. We said okay, and she walked away very aggressively. Again, we were puzzled by the behavior. We eventually finished our food and drinks, celebrated our friend with cake, and sat chatting for a while. The waitress came back saying she was going to clean up the table a bit but only removed two glasses. She did not once offer more water or ask if we needed anything after the bill was closed. When our fifth person arrived, we had to ask other staff members for assistance. Avielle finally came back to take the fifth person’s order and had a completely different demeanor — much more pleasant. Overall, the experience was very odd and uncomfortable. Personally, I don’t believe the service deserved a 20% tip, but she still received one.

  Me and my partner have ordered online twice this week. Our first order was missing 1-2 toppings, nothing too bad we let it slide. Our food was great so we wanted to order again and tonight we were missing 4-5 toppings on a bowl. We called and explained the situation and they only offered $1 refund. Yet.. the items were $1 each? The hostess tried to get the manager but they refused to come to the phone. I don’t understand why customer service was this terrible. Definitely won’t be returning in the near future. Shoutout to the host for trying to help.

She was knowledgeable to answer questions about food allergy concerns. All staff delivering our orders were great too! Love this place!!
