    I found the experience horrible. As my party of four were finishing our meals, which took a while to be served, were were asked to move to the bar. The waitress informed us that there was another reservation waiting for the table, so would have to move to the bar if we wanted desert. Being informed that my reservation was not as important as the next one and that we would have to leave our reserved table, was humiliating. I am very disappointed. Asked to leave after spending $120 on food. I still have the receipt.

    Fabulous food. OK service. Terribly high prices. The price range listed is not accurate. I think the cheapest "entree" I saw was $16 for a veggie dish, going up to $25 or so.

    What a disappointment. Makeda’s is selling $25 gift certificates on restaurant.com for $10. I thought this would be an excellent way to try out a new cuisine. Too bad they do not accept their own gift certificates. Not a good way to win customers.
