2 out of 5 I recently tried this establishment and was very dissapointed in the quality and quantity of the food served. The food was over priced for the quality and quantity and I heard a couple next to me exclaiming about the small servings as well. In addition the clientele leaves something to be desired. When I was in, it looked like most were getting over a hangover or tying one on. One person walked past that stunk of body odor and pot. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT!
