    We selected the restaurant because of a high rating on OpenTable, but after checking in and being seated, the cleanliness of our original table was disappointing. When we asked to be moved to another table, the new table was not much better. The drinks were mediocre, the burger I ordered was underwhelming in size and taste, and the server handed us the check shortly after the entrees were served (i.e., did not offer dessert). The whole experience was unpleasant, particularly because we came in to celebrate our anniversary (this was noted in the OpenTable reservation, but no one at the restaurant acknowledged this).
