Took way too long for us to get water, bathrooms were disgusting, waitresses was nice but nothing was timed out to where the dinner felt cohesive. Very Bad time, I only didn't say anything because I enjoyed the company I brought to this place AND that is unfortunate cause there has been a lot of places to move into that spot and not make it. I foresee their future being the same as the restaurant.

                                                                                                Is this helpful?

The floor was dirty, The waitress’s could barely get through to other tables. I expected more elegance out of this place especially since it’s down town. The tables are shoved into a very small space...This was a mess and we will never return!

When we got there we were seated and what we wanted wasn't available which was ok and we ordered king crab with crawfish. My mom asked the lady to add one lobster tail to the bag and the waitress even clarified what we wanted, we told her it was correct. We were having a good time until she came out with two bags, we thought oh she separated it so we could have our own, but she didnt have crawfish in her bag. Turns out the lady charged us for two separate meals then the one we asked for and she blamed us for not saying anything before but we barely touched our food. We asked for a manager and he did the same thing blame us for not saying anything before. Like are we supposed to know that she made a mistake before she made it. That was a 70 dollar mistake. The manager kept blaming us until my mom said that we would never return then he said oh I'll take 15% off like that was gonna do something. It took 18 dollars off and still charged us for both meals. He should've just took off the extra meal that wasnt asked for and kept the lobster tail with the original meal, because that's what we ordered. Terrible customer service and for the rest of the night we kept getting dirty looks from our waitress and the manager. I will never return. It's sad because their food is Amazing.
