Didn’t know the spot had hookah , unfortunately where we sat, the table behind us was smoking hookah. The table policy is 90 minutes from the time you are seated, it took a long time to get our food and drinks, we didn’t have a lot of time left after that, it started getting crowded near the bar where we were seated, luckily we had finished our food by then because people were standing right next to our table waiting to get a drink. I didn’t care for my food, the crab cakes were not made with much crab, the lobster fried rice needed to be seasoned more

The environment was great. Now that we have that out the way the service was not. Our server was constantly mia having to ask others to get her. The table was so small and couldn’t accommodate the drinks and appetizers. The drinks were ok and that’s being gracious. Now the crab cake appetizer was very good and they used real crab meat. The main course the fried rice was dry the chicken and broccoli was not seasoned to my liking but the kung pao chicken was tasty. There is no dessert menu but I guess that was ok. Now the bill please add on your website or somewhere so patrons are aware if they pay with card they are charged an additional fee. It wasn’t worth the 2 hour drive. This is a one and done for me.
