It was 20 minutes before a waitperson even acknowledged us after being seated. It was another 20 until we got our first drink order, and a subsequent 20 minutes to put in our appetizers and another round of drinks. The calamari was cold and mushy with a thick buttery cheese-like sauce which made it a soggy mass. Plus, it was cold. Calamari is supposed to be crispy. After about 2 hours of this we finally got our meals literally THROWN at us by a RUNNING waitress (not our original waitress). After eating our meals with no follow up from the wait staff we waited another 20 minutes for our check, which never showed up. We had to go inside and track down our waitress to get our check. There we found our waitress was actually the bartender! So it was no wonder she never came back. We had to jog our bill/credit cards back and forth from our table to the bar like we were the waiters. We didn't get to keep our leftovers because we would have had to go get our own containers and we were just too peeved at that point. I'm surprised we didn't have to bus our own table after we were done. Never again. Oh, and a couple that got seated before us didn't get their meals until we were just leaving...I could tell they were even more p.o'd than us and rightly so.
Pros: No.
Cons: Service stunk real bad.
