Horrific service. I can't make it anymore clear. (read below for description). I will not be back at any point in the future and will likely avoid any place under the same ownership. The wait for a table (8 top) was to be expected but when 3/8ths of the table doesn't have drinks perhaps ask if they would like something. Waiting 10 min to ask if we want a drink is unacceptable when you want to charge $20 for beef fajitas. This problem is exacerbated by the fact getting this water, along with three other drinks only one of which was a mix drink, took another 10 min. In total, I spent 20 min waiting for a water. While this could be allowed to slide as a fluke, when, within 1 min of being provided the water, more than 3/4 of the water is gone, perhaps it would be worth while to ask if I would like another, something made worse by by the fact the server was still present at the table. Instead, I'm forced to wait another 20 min to have a water refilled. I cannot express in words how unacceptable it is to have a server engaging in behavior like this. I understand they have other tables and would have been perfectly understanding if (1) it didn't happen twice in a row or (2) the restaurant was crowded. Needless to say, I will never return to this restaurant again and am extremely likely to avoid any other restaurants under the same ownership.

what happened to the buffet? We have been going for years and years on Sunday mornings. It has been gone for a while now. Is it coming back? It can’t be that hard to get the parts needed for the table. Sad 😞
