Celebrated a friend’s birthday and it was a great night. We had a party of 8 which is considered a large party (extra fees) but the service was great. Drinks were great. The Spanish meatballs and elevated tater tots were delicious. No complaints from our group. The ambiance is best for a date night but we still had a good time with friends.
