Very disappointed! Seated late even though we had a reservation. Quality of food not the best and was cold. Empty trays of food that we were not able to try since they didn’t get refilled. Drink jugs empty and when I asked waitress about it, she said we can get soda. Kid choices also disappointing. Never again!
