Also felt that the small restaurant was overcrowded by the tour group. We couldn’t get a table or a seat at the bar so had to use a sitting area and had to order finger foods that didn’t require silverware. The bar and eating area was understaffed even though the two servers were amazing !!!! We did receive the best of care from the hard working servers👏👏👏"
