usually like dimly lit restaurants but pretty sure this was dark because it was dirty. went there as a guest at a birthday party, felt sorry for the host who paid. the waitress was the worst i've experienced, what little time she was at our table,bossy and lazy. there was no discerning that what i was eating was veal, it could have been anything it was tasteless. way too kid friendly, the entire time we were there there was a table with kids that acted like they were at there own private party. place was packed-must be a bargain, Never Again.
