★☆☆☆☆ 12.27.2020
This was our fifth visit, and we came for the special Christmas Eve dinner.
To be honest, the food was great, but the service was really terrible.
First, when we were making a reservation by phone, the waiter answered impatiently.
Second, after we arrived, we waited almost 10 minutes for a table.
Vicky’s Restaurant used to be my favorite holiday choice, but this time, I was not happy with its service.

A Google software engineer was suspended after going public with his claims of encountering “sentient” artificial intelligence on the company’s servers — spurring a debate about how and whether AI can achieve consciousness.
