well, I went there today for lunch. My son and I and my friend I went to the restroom and the floor was very wet and I slipped and I hurt my shoulder. Jason, the manager made sure I was OK. He was awesome. The food was good Jesse the shelf was awesome. The waitress Gabriella was OK, but I think she would only waitress on because she really didn’t come around and didn’t bring our appetizers on time, they came with lunch was being made. Overall, it was very good.
