    Not my first visit as I enjoy the atmosphere, food and drinks! Today, however was not the best. It was cold inside and had to keep my coat on. Who wants to eat with their coat (winter) on? Also, my guest ordered at the same time I ordered however it took almost half hour for part of her order. We both ordered wings and rasta pasta. I ordered the shrimp & she ordered the chicken. Why did her rasta pasta come out half hour after mine? We were ready to pack up and leave.
