Only once I walked further into the restaurant did a waitress see me and seat us. The same waitress served my table and did fine. They must have been short staffed because the service was VERY slow, especially the initial drink service. Food was.... good, but one-dimensional and absolutely not worth their inflated prices. I am not sure I would return.","rating":{"food":3,"service":1,"ambience":4,"value":2,"noise":"QUIET","overall":2,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":3,"nickname":"Chris","metro":{"metroId":92,"displayName":"Richmond","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"C","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"ICECREAM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-03-28T15:05:35Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-03-27T19:15:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"totalPages":104,"page":1,"totalCount":1033,"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"reviewHelpfulnessVotes":[],"sortBy":"newestReview","isLoading":false,"prioritiseUserLanguage":false,"searchTerm":"","error":false},"availabilityToken":"eyJ2IjoyLCJtIjoxLCJwIjowLCJzIjowLCJuIjowfQ","noAvailabilityList":null,"multiDayAvailabilityModalOpen":false,"showDiningReward":false,"initialDTPDate":null,"initialDTPTime":null,"initialDTPPartySize":null,"fetchAvailabilityOnLoad":false,"findATableLoadingStateOverride":true,"pointRedemptionRewards":null,"privateDining":{},"activeTab":"overview","disableFPC":true,"restaurantHighlights":{"staff":null,"missionStatement":null},"pageAnchor":null},"wallet":{"isPaymentLoading":false,"singleUseCard":null,"savedCards":[],"selectedPaymentCardId":null,"showAddPaymentsMethodModal":false,"showConfirmDeleteModal":false,"cardIdForDeletion":null,"paymentCardTokenToSaveAfterLogin":null,"errorCode":null,"showPaymentMethodSavedToast":null,"showPaymentMethodRemovedToast":null,"networkError":null,"partialErrors":[]}},"__OT_NEW_SESSION_START__":false,"__EXCLUDE_ONETRUST__":false,"__EXCLUDE_GA__":false,"__INCLUDE_RECAPTCHA__":false,"__OT_RUM_CONTEXT__":{"deviceType":"desktop","primaryCountry":"hk"},"__OT_GA_DATA__":{"cd2":10,"cd12":"en","cd6":14980,"cd28":14980,"cd13":"Full Web","cd17":"Full Web","cd11":"restprofilepage","cd66":"restaurants","cd63":"restaurant-profile","cd67":"network","cd10":"anonymous","cd7":"Logged Out","cd4":9849,"cd76":9849,"cd3":92,"cd19":92,"cd78":2441,"cd5":2441,"cd31":"false","cd85":1,"cd84":"GuestCenter","cd15":"network","cd18":"network"}}}
