| - It's not often I write restaurant reviews (this is my first), but having such an atrocious experience here has made me want to do this as a warning to others.
The place was horribly understaffed, even for the 4:00 A.M. visit I had there with a friend. The customer service reflected this with nonexistent etiquette, an intolerable waiting time for the food, and unacceptable waitressing. In addition to things like forgetting our utensils and dropping dirty plates on the ground, it took us a whopping 15-20 minutes JUST so our order can be taken from the lone waitress there so we can get a idea or at least an illusion of things being in the works towards getting our food onto the table. About 80% of the tables there however were occupied and a single waitress had to take care of them all! It almost looked like she was on the end of a tasteless prank or something.
At the end of our stay, what really broke the camel's back was the random, unannounced, and overly large forced tip included in our total. As our culture really needs to understand, forced tips logically invalidate the entire point of a tip which is a charitable, voluntary, and varying amount of money we give to somebody if we're pleased by their service.
On the plus side however, the food was pretty decent and even looked better than it did on the menu. This is the only thing that salvages the place to get a 2/5 instead of a 1/5, but either way I definitely wouldn't ever recommend somebody here.
