after having been canceled 3 times trying to get an uber to take us to the restaurant, when we arrived the main door did not open, and we decided to enter through a small door on the side and upon entering the waitresses were confused by our presence but they sat us down and gave us the menu but after a short time they took it away from us because they had given us the wrong one, (it was around 3pm) which surprised us, because in Florida the meal starts at 5 ... in any case, my husband told the waitress about our unfortunate experience with uber, who after a short time brought us a delicious tortilla / naan, I don't know exactly, a courtesy of the house and after bringing us our "dinner", she offered us 50% of the total bill. By the way the food was yummy and the waitress were very sweet and attentive
