I tried going with my husband a few weeks ago and we waited to be seated for about 15 minutes - standing right in front of the hostess, who didn't acknowledge us but instead had lengthy conversations with a waitress and at one point said hello to the guy waiting behind us! When she finally decided to greet us, she told us it would be about a 20 minute wait so we told her to forget it.

I'm also really turned off by restaurants with tvs, and they had huge projections of basketball games that night, which I didn't feel like watching during my meal.

They have the worst service ever. Did you notice that? Twice I've gone there and sat for 15 minutes plus without anyone coming up to me. I mean, no menus, no water, nothing. We left both times, and when I walk by and see people eating outside, I always wonder how they managed to get food. Maybe they just hate me?
Delivery is good though!
