The table was super wobbly. The waitress tried to fix it by folding about 20 napkins, but it didn't work. The table was sticky. The food was simple and not seasoned. It took a long time to arrive. The place gets very crowded. I will not be coming back, the "Huge" pieces of carrots and potatoes were undercooked. however the service was good.
