It wasn&#8217;t as bad as all the negative reviews I read online as we were already sitting there waiting for our starters. LOL. The service was decent and the food wasn&#8217;t bad. Other than the burnt chili, everything else was prepared well. The potato thing that they serve as a side dish (Shelita and I both got a bowl of it with our meals) had good flavor. <\/p>\n<p>Although, I&#8217;d probably try a different restaurant if I ever find my way back to MOA I really can&#8217;t complain.
