My husband took me here for birthday this evening. My husband had to call to let them know we will be a few minutes late because we ran into a traffic jam on 295. We were coming from north jersey/central area. The restaurant wasn't crowded. There was small group celebrating their father's birthday. We were seated and placed our order right away. We ordered a lot food. We knew we was going to take some food home with us and have for 2-3 days. We just sampled. We ordered three appetizers and two entrees and dessert to take home. We sat for maybe 5-10 minutes and the fried chicken wings came out and the caribbean egg rolls and seafood mac and cheese. The chicken wings were a tad salty and three pieces were a little burnt between the flat part and tip. Not a big deal; we didn't complain about that. A few minutes later my husband receives his turkey wings over rice and I received the chili salmon over yellow rice. My chili salmon was overcooked/burnt. It was burnt at the top and skin burnt at the bottom. I removed the skin and some of the salmon stuck to the skin as I removed it. I didn't eat that part. I tasted the salmon and it was dry, too burnt and rice had too much of the chili garlic sauce over it, which i didn't like. I couldn't continue to eat it. I told our waitress the issue and she said we would have to pay for another dish and they will take my dish away. I told her when we was here for brunch and they served us burnt pancakes, they replaced it at no charge. I said I thought they wanted us to let them know if we had any issues with our food, and they will take care of it. She went to get, who i assumed to be the manager. His attitude rubbed me the wrong way when I explained to him my issue and he said I should have told them I didn't want sauce over the rice. I said, this was my first time ordering it; how was i suppose to know that. I asked for no extra sauce on the rice. He said he will just replace one piece of salmon and will not give me anymore rice. He said I ate half the salmon. Remember, I said, some of the salmon stuck to the skin. I didn't eat a lot of it. My husband told him to forget it and the man walked away. I was totally disgusted by his bad attitude and I lost my appetite. As he started to walk away, my husband said that's it, we're leaving. He said we can start packing up everything. He said, he didn't even like his turkey wings. The skin wasn't soft he said; meat not really tender. He said they just poured gravy over the wings. It wasn't cooked in gravy. We wasn't even there long. We packed up appetizers and the $30 chili salmon, we told our waitress she can throw away along with the sweet potatoes we both asked for as a side. We didn't like at all. My birthday was ruined. We regretted ordering desserts from them. My husband said he shouldn't have gave anymore of his money. He felt bad that I barely ate my entrée and said he was taking me somewhere else to get an entrée. I didn't want him to do that but he said it was my birthday and he wanted to do that for me. He regretted taking me here. So, we went to our favorite Italian restaurant afterwards and ordered me an entrée and took it back home. We will never go back to this establishment again. Too many stipulations, like reservations and the amount of time you have to eat. You have to keep looking at your watch. I was telling a lot of people to give them a try. Now, i regret it. We should have went with our first instinct and not go here. I wish them the best but never again.
