    The service was very slow. Waited twenty minutes before our server made an appearance . The spinach was not up to par . I could not eat it. I complained to server about it and her response was she would talk to the chief, but never gave me an answer nor did she remove it from the bill. The rest of the meal was not up to the standard I was use to at this restaurant. It will be awhile before I will return.
