If you like to be profiled this is your place. Completely Disgusting!!!!!!! Do better be better. I would never give this place a dime again. The food is okay, but nothing special. My family of 5 came to eat at this establishment for a snack at 1 pm. We were looking for a light meal as we have dinner reservations at 5 but wanted to escape the heat. It was not busy so we were not taking up a table that would have ordered more. The waiter totally profiled our table as we are a biracial family. He added on tip of 20% to our bill. The establishment clearly says 6 people and they MAY add 20%. Every person in the Industry knows exactly the number people your restaurant sets as the minimum to add gratuity. They say it was an accident but this was no accident. This was definitely a case of profiling at it's finest.

my friends and i come here often as a meet up spot because the atmosphere is really amazing. the food is great, to be expected, but the service is just really up there and pulls it all together. whenever we go we usually see the same hostess named shy and it’s gotten to the point where she seems to know our favorite table and does her best to seat us where we like when she can. hostesses are so underrated in the restaurant industry, and she’s such a great example of this. she’s just never seemed to have a single bad day in all the time we’ve been coming here. all of the servers we’ve gotten have been amazing as well and so accommodating to the various food sensitivities of the group. overall just an amazing restaurant experience and the people truly do make it what it is.
