Worst service. They made us wait over 45 to be seated for a reservation. Rude hostess.

1.0 of 5 stars. Even with a reservation, this place makes you wait forever. I guess you have to know someone to be seated on time. Too bad I will never go back. This past weekend was the third time they made me wait...
