Had a disappointing experience. I specifically choose this restaurant because of my past great experiences but last night was different. I went for dinner celebrating my birthday and my father’s birthday. The hostess were cold, rude, our server Bobbie was absolutely terrible. He not only forgot to ring in our appetizer, it ended up coming after we finished our entrees, he was all over the place, there was barely any conversation and considering he knew it was our birthdays you would think he would go out of his way to make sure it was nice. The food was phenomenal, otherwise the whole experience was terrible. I do not plan on returning. I’ve had better service at Olive Garden.

Everything tasted great but the amount of toppings on the pizza was lacking. We got the firebird pizza and it was very good but there was not much to the toppings - was mostly bread with a small layer of toppings. We also got the cup and char circle pizza - very good - lots of pepperoni.

We made a reservation which was great and it wasn’t that crowded. My order was wrong and the server had it remade. I did ask for bread while I waited. The server did not come by to refill our water or drinks until we finished eating. Other diners had water bottles let on their tables, we did not. Food was good but we did have to ask for salt and pepper.
