Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was nice but on two occassions when I ordered a meal they mixed freshly cooked food with stale food. I ordered some chicken wings and two pieces were soft and succulent, and then two pieces were refried so where hard and dry. I complained and then the following day I ordered some ribs and the first piece was delicious and the second pieces was regrilled hard and dry. There is no need to serve food like this. I would never eat from them again. Its really not worth spending the extra cash. The third day I decide to fast instead of eating in the restaurant again. Shame on them.
