It’s a cool experience but the restaurant is worn down. It’s as if they don’t really care for their presence anymore. The food was pretty good but it definitely adds up after awhile.

The food and the experience overall was great. Some improvements that could be done would be to lower the music in the restaurant so groups can chat without yelling, bathrooms need to be maintained and install an easier ordering system. It will make it easier on the waiters/waitresses and consumers. Tablets with all of the menu items that can be selected and orders sent directly to the kitchen would be ideal. Or install the buttons at each table to call your waiter/waitresses when they are needed.

I had a disappointing experience with our waiter. He was a tall, fit, young man in his late twenties, though I didn't catch his name. Throughout the meal, he displayed a lack of professionalism; he didn't smile, appeared condescending, and even gave attitude when asked for items. Additionally, instead of focusing on his duties, he seemed more interested in flirting with another waitress. At the end of the meal, when we were settling the bill, he presumptuously assumed he could keep the change as his tip, rather than letting us decide.
