"The restaurant's ambiance initially seemed promising, with decor evoking a sophisticated wine theme. However, this ambiance was not complemented by a comprehensive wine list or cocktail menu, leaving patrons without guidance on beverage choices. One notable incident involved a hostess's mishandling of seating arrangements, as a couple was publicly embarrassed when they were deemed too large for a booth and left to fend for themselves in selecting a table. Another hostess exhibited a lack of awareness, leading a family across the restaurant before realizing she had forgotten to seat them. Disappointment continued with the menu, which failed to list available side dishes and neglected to deliver promised dinner rolls with meals. Throughout the meal, service faltered, with unattended empty cups and a lack of follow-up after serving the dishes. Adding to the dissatisfaction was the absence of specials being offered and a noticeable lack of gratitude upon departure. Culinary disappointments were also abundant, notably the fried items which lacked both color and flavor. A particularly unappealing dish was the cheese sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers, served on a bed of wilted iceberg lettuce, rendering the dish endlessly chewy and unappetizing. These numerous shortcomings collectively hindered the enjoyment of the dining experience, suggesting substantial room for improvement across various aspects of the establishment."
