Service was stellar! Our waitress was very attentive. Food was also very tasty- the new fried Brussels sprouts were very good. Only issue was the kitchen must have forgotten to fire our kid’s chicken tenders. She munched on her fruit and fries and legit the tenders came out last. It happens- she still ended up eating them all.

The waitress was more interested in chatting around the bar, seating at the high chairs or talking in the kitchen. She was not very attentive. The service was very slow and as we had other drinks she never cleaned the old glasses from the table. Besides that the restaurant was not busy at all. It looks like there was no manager on duty, or if there was one he was not doing his job also. About the food everything was great except the old bread that was served with the Mozambique mussels.
