    The server was great and very professional. The person who brought out the food was rude. The burger with lettuce wrap ---served half a head of lettuce instead of perhaps a couple of large leaves for the burger. the rest of the lettuce was wasted. the lasagna was below average. random noodles in a round bowl. that is not how to serve lasagna.

    Being waited on at first and food delivery was very good. When we were done it took a long time to get the check and pay for it.

    Bar service was slow even though there were 4 guys behind the bar. The place is tired. Moved from a high top that was wobbly on the floor and there was no apparent concern for that either.
