It costs a lot to open a restaurant today and I cannot imagine why anyone goes to that trouble to offer such a bad experience. The service was so bad that it is impossible to rate. In fact, it was non-existent: there was no "service" (excessive wait, no offers of a beverage, no meal recommendations and not even the customary inquiry about "how are things"). The food ranged from good to very average. The ambiance was a combination of muzak, kitchen sounds, ice being crushed at the bar and children amusing themselves. Harsh lighting, a giant screen TV with news flashes. Most adult patrons looked unengaged. That wasn't the reason we went- we won't be returning.
