This used to be one of our favorite restaurants for special occasions. The food and service used to be excellent, no longer. The last time we were there the food was average at best, the waiter tried to cheat us on our bill (I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought it was accidental until I read another review... more

Cite restaurant is a total waste. Quanity and quality of food is poor. Had to wait over 50 minutes for appetizers to be delivered. Watch your bill carefully, restaurant will add 20% tip to your bill with party of 6+ people. Waiter tried to cheat us on the bill by adding 20% tip for food and another 20% tip for... more
