The waitress acted like she really didn’t care about service, and then brought some off- label soft drink instead of Sprite without telling us. The food was okay apart from some green beans that were basically inedible. The waitress continued to act like she really didn’t have any interest, fortunately there was a waiter who was much more helpful. Overall, not an experience to make us want to go back any time soon
