    the food was pretty good until we finished eating and saw a cockroach crawling on the wall behind us. it was disgusting. we told the server who apologized and brought our table of nine people two little ice creams to share, thinking that fixed things. our bill was not adjusted at all and they even added the 18% gratuity! i would not recommend this restraunt at all! unless you like cockroaches in your food.
