2 months agoIf you’re looking for a culinary experience that makes you question every life decision that led you here — this is the place. The tuna steak was cooked so hard I’m pretty sure it died twice. Dry, chewy, and with the texture of an old flip-flop. My “medium” steak arrived fully cremated, somewhere between “shoe sole” and “construction material.” The side dishes looked like they lost the will to live. A mountain of fries, two sad leaves of salad, and seasoning apparently considered illegal in this establishment. Presentation: depressing. Taste: confusing. Salt: missing in action. Would recommend only if you enjoy punishment and potatoes.
