Food has always been good, but ordered at 5:00PM, should have been ready at 5:20, restaurant made me wait till 5:49 even though it was ready and made me miss an important appointment at 6:00 , I told the girl serving I was in a rush but she didn't care, made me wait for no reason (the food was ready the whole time)
