    It was our first time here and we enjoyed the atmosphere, the food was delicious!! Music was so much fun. Only small flaw was our waitress was slow at first. She might have been new and nervous. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely be back again and most definitely recommend!!

    Everything was great. The food was good. The service was good. The only thing I didn’t like is I would not want to be seated upstairs because I had a broken arm and the lady where you check in told me you need to call instead of putting a note here on OpenTable so they couldn’t help me with sitting downstairs. I had to go upstairs so if you have someone in a wheelchair, your best call or you cannot eat there.

    The food was delicious!! The service was good but he was very busy because it was Valentine’s Day. We did not receive our $25 off on our receipt and due to time constraints…we just figured we will use it next time. We were there almost two hours…it took a long time to get our orders, our food, my gf bread, water and water refills but the food was delicious (as always).
