The food was good, but it was so busy and they only served the tables with bigger people and stayed there for a hour was brought out meat probably 4 times … for 200 dollars I feel like I got ripped off

We understand your frustration with the limited meat service and the feeling of being overlooked. We will be reviewing our service procedures to ensure all guests receive equal attention. We hope you will consider giving us another opportunity to provide a better experience.
