Was so incredibly loud in the back. Sat between several work parties who kept putting their bags around our table and in our extra chairs.

Overall, the food was delicious. We did the wee pie sampler and the butter chicken. Delicious! The reason I did not give 5 stars on the food was the side of green beans looked like frozen vegetables I buy at the supermarket. our server was patient with my 10-year-old daughter and attentive. Definitely a great place to watch a football game!

Awesome atmosphere with friendly staff! They work as a team so we had several different staff members take drink orders,bring water, take meal orders, deliver food, and close out check all by different people. The food was delicious but sat in the window for a bit and was lukewarm. They didn’t acknowledge the note in the reservation that it was our 1 year wedding anniversary or ask if we wanted dessert. We would return for a casual bite again, but wouldn’t make this a place for celebrating special occasions.

Was unimpressed from the moment we walked in and were told by the host to “take any table over there”. The server was good, until it came time to pay and he didn’t know how to apply the gift card, and then apply balance to Visa card also presented. After I paid, I noticed the server applied a tip to the entire amount instead of just giving me the option to apply it after he scanned the Visa. Food was greasy, but drinks were good. Will not return…
