Food was amazing, we tried almost everything. The service was a bit slow after we got our food and the people by us were drunk and loud, it was very nice after they left. Music was enjoyable. We will definitely be back. One thing i wished I knew before we went is you have the option to cook your own steaks or you can have them cook it for you.

Service was slow we were told people didn’t show up for work. Orders were not received correctly due to waiter being distracted with other customers calling him. Requested a Caesar salad and I had to remind the waiter my salad was not delivered. Requested no onions or peppers on the quesadillas and there were onions and peppers in the quesadillas. Did I mention service was slow

Food was excellent! There was a large Christmas party happening when we went so the noise level was really loud, but probably not like that all the time. I would recommend dimming the lighting a bit, ambiance is important and the recessed lighting was very bright. Food was excellent and would definitely recommend!!
