I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner, and it sure was a sorry choice! First, the restaurant was nearly empty, but it took forever for a server to acknowlege us. Finally a waiter did come by to take our order, but he had a rude attitude - like he thought we were too poor or not classy enough for his restaurant. When our mixed appetizer plate arrived, it looked pretty but the appetizers were VERY salty and oily in texture.

The appitzer plate was a highlight compared to the entrees however. My boyfriend had the pork chop which was WAY to thick in cut - gummy pink in the center and it smelled VERY gamey. I had the corn soup and it was unappetizing in color (grey) and had a rancid taste - no fresh corn flavor here!

However, the iced tea was delicious. I would not consider coming back to dine here again, but I might purchase an iced tea again. All in all, even with the poor flavor of the pricy food, the service was even worse and I specifically would not return to a place where the waiter acts like he is pained to wait on you.
