Just a shame you'vea invested so much in construction while investing nothing in gaining knowledge of the restaurant business. PLEASE, if you are not equipped to train your service staff yourself then hire a professional to do it, it will pay off for you in the end. Waitstaff are sorely in need of an education in not only customer service but in food, be able to answer questions intelligently & accurately. I see another Rockaway flop on the horizon. best of luck though.

Sadly, went once for a great diner breakfast.....5 minutes to be noticed by 10 staff roaming about.......5 minutes for "my waitress" and 5 more for first cup of coffee, 15 for breakfast, had to ask for condiments, had to stand up and look about to get my check........not much fun and horrible service, okay food.....but not a good experience at all.

Have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner there several times. The food was great. Service has improved greatly since the opening.
