It was was just lazy and a piss poor house special.<BR/><BR/>Th apps were really good. The entress were wack. THe service from the kitchen was terrible. the waitress was bush league.<BR/><BR/>I am a fan of Mythos beer now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101345435860777765noreply@blogger.com
