Went there for dinner 2 weeks ago.The food was great but the service lacked in every sense:when we ordered the mains my partner asked to have the rice fried (on a frypan with some oil) instead that just boiled since he doesn't like it that way.The waitress asked the chef.When he came back he said that fried rice was on the menu and that we had to ordered by side.We then agreed.The waitress then came back asking if we wanted beef with the meal.Since one of the meals was with beef we said beef.Meals arrived,the stirfry rice was much more elaborate that we thought should be but we didn't enquiry.During the meal the waitress were chatting along sitting around a table:I had to get up from the table and go to them to ask for more water.While at my table I also observed the owner cleaning another table putting fingers inside the glasses for easy carrying.The surprise arrived when I paid my bill.The stirfry rice was $16.00(another main!that is why the waitress asked if we wanted beef in it) and when I explained the situation,saying that the waitress didn't inform us,we just wanted a simple stirfry,the owner turned to me and said "well,errors happens!!" with a sarcastic smile.At the end I had to pay for the stirfry.Shame is that the food is great but I will never go back because of the service and the rude beahviour of the owner.
