The hosts was rude and did not go in order of people that came in. Waited 15 minutes until 10 pm for my reservations. A couple came in two minutes before 10 was seated at the table before others that was waiting patiently. I ask was it some kind of order or something. She cut me off and said oh well what your name. Shocked I told her my name and she stated you can come on ,turn to the waiter who was shocked aswell to seat us. Being my first time there was very surprised with the level of customer service our But the waiter was very nice and he apologize for the inconvenience.
