    Great service, food was delicious! A manager did stop by and say we were too loud which was surprising given it was 10:30 at night and most people were drinking on a Friday night and having a good time! Otherwise our waitress was wonderful!

    Fun place. Great food, service and ambiance. The only complaint was all food came out all at the same time. We finished our salads then they brought back our mains.

    Soooo yummmmy and the service was good. The only disappointment was the manager coming up and telling us to leave because we had been there an hour and 45 minutes. We were finished so it wasn’t an inconvenience but he wasn’t nice about it. He was actually kind of rude.
