first things first, we waited 10 minutes to be seated , waiter was nice at first.. one of the gentleman at our table ordered a mixed drink, she got rude with everyone at the table (he was ID for the mixed drink and was given it).. next my friend got a handcrafted passion fruit drink non alcoholic it was just like a lemonade base with sprite passion fruit and lime.. well for the first 20 minutes after receiving food, we had the employees stalking and watching our table and continuously looking at our table all because the gentleman with us ordered a mixed drink, I understand company policy IDing, making sure you’re 21+ but that doesn’t give anyone the right to hawk eye an entire table and disrupt our meal because of it , about 10 mins of hawk eyeing us went by we had a gentleman walk over to our table and ask us how our night was and say he needed to see some ID because we had drinks at our table nobody at our table had a mixed drink but the gentleman who was already IDENTIFIED and showed his ID, he proceeded to harass our table by coming over and picking up my female friends handcrafted lemonade drink picking it up while reaching over our food and puts his nose into my friends drink smelling for alcohol as if they hadn’t already done enough harassment for the night !!! we got a refund for that drink but we got cussed at and snapped at multiple times finally we decided to just snap back and be rude all together .. waitress was extremely rude and I would recommend another place to go , and I. Won’t be returning to this location ever again!! I can only imagine , how they treat other people on a day to day basis and all while on the clock. It’s never okay to treat your guest like this and I will not be returning and I want the corporate number to file a complaint because leaving this review and still being respectful, isn’t good enough I want these people to lose their jobs or have some type of consequences for how they stalked and harassed our table.

I can’t rate the food because we never got any. The service was by far the worst and most absurd experience I’ve ever had. We came in with a large party, I have been to restaurants in a large party before and never waited 2 HOURS for food and 45 minutes to even have our food order taken. When asked to speak with the manager he gaslit us into thinking it was our fault because we had a large party. He then claimed he would go get our food, when 2 other waitresses came out and asked us again what we ordered, it was incorrect and we told them we didn’t want it anymore. It had nearly been 2.5 hours at this point and we were no longer hungry. We will NEVER return to this restaurant. The staff is untrained and the manager is rude and does not take ownership of his mistakes. Wish I could give 0 stars. Horrendous.
