Went there for the customer appreciation menu. Very good except the chicken was not fully done. They brought a second one and it was no better. They removed it from my bill and the manager came over to apologize and ened up giving us a free ribs and potato to go on the house! Now that is customer service! Not to mention the Old Fashion was outstanding!

Despite them clearly being short staffed (and I can understand being it was New Years and some staff probably cancelled) they were very attentive and I was very impressed how friendly they were. The food was amazing and the latte I had is very possibly the best I've ever had!
