| - I went here with friends after a horrible showing at our vball games.
The place has an alright setting, and is more spacious than you would realize from outside!
The food and service though were where things kind of declined. When I got there most of my friends were there, and the place was pretty empty besides us (one other group).
A key ingredient to great service is your glass of water. A waiter who seamlessly keeps your glass full, like an endless well, is a great waiter because they are taking care of such a simple detail, and allowing you to focus your time on conversation or enjoying the food.
However, for us, after the initial serving of bottles (self serve your own glasses) the bottles were never really replenished even after we requested it. So first fail.
The second came at the serving of food. I can say that my food was good, but it was, IMHO, a simple dish...curried chicken and rice. And for me it was a great meal at a decent price.
But! ( you knew there was one!) My friend ordered some crazy pig bone soup dish....I can't remember it nut it was intense and overflowing...so much that they spilt it all over him...hot soup...(thank god we were in our beach gear still...not really but I'm trying to be glass half full here).
While they didn't offer any additions or reductions in cost they also didn't up their service for my friend. Poor guy didn't get his utensils, they wouldn't bring him more water or tea...it seemed like they were purposely ruining his night.
So overall, I guess its the luck of the draw if you are that guy who the staff decides to really focus their bad service on. In a group setting, while it is entertaining, it brings the total ambience down.
With some more work on the service, they'd have earned another star, but alas, such is the restaurant world. My personal experience wasn't horrible so I would try it again...but maybe one of their other locations....and definitely not bowls overflowing with liquid!
