That's not the case here but I saw it had been a while since some wrote a review here. This is the best food in the region, and everything is always so unique and large portion.

The smoked sturgeon, seasoned jumbo shrimp, and minced pork belly were the top dishes here. Sturgeon isn't as common around here and stood out because of the smoky taste and freshness. The shrimp cook and seasoning was delicious. Pork belly was the perfect combo of fattyness and lean meat. Quantity- you get a ton of quality food for the price. Atmosphere- N/A Service- excellent and friendly folks

I really wanted to love this place! The food was great, but the service was absolutely terrible…read more Our server never came back to refill our water, check on our food, or even bring the check. We had fries with no ketchup, ribs with no BBQ sauce or napkins, and empty cups with no refills. The server walked past our table multiple times and completely avoided eye contact. He didn't know the drink menu and went out of his way to ignore us, to the point where we honestly couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it was. He definitely needs more training. Super disappointing because I would have loved another martini, but our server never returned. Shoutout to the host, without her, we wouldn't have had any water at all.
