   I was at this place with my wife and brother, had dinner, the food was old,bad, the waiter was great good guy, but the rest of the staff were terrible, we got there about 7pm had food spent about $60 in food had a few beers, about 9pm they they tell me i had to pay for the entrance to buy more beer, i was told i couldent buy any thing else until entrance was paid(in a snotty manner) this place does not know how to treat customers i had been to this place before when they first opened at the food was good service was great, now i think its gotten to there heads and they think they too good to give good service, i would not recommend this place at all...bacalao on tuttle is the worst place to eat..
