Drinks good, service good, food ok. Expected a little more for the price and not excited about the 4% surcharge. Felt nickel and dimed.

Came in for the Fried Chicken - it was quite good - a lot of food- but the price point may be a bit high for chicken, but we enjoyed the food. It is a little hot inside the restaurant. We are interested in in trying the pizza and pasta on Saturday.

All was good, but the pricing has reached the outer limit of affordability for the result. TEs, ingredients are more expensive, but check their pricing versus others.

Very good experience got there before six and did not know they have happy hour on Saturday so we ordered drinks and a small pizza. It was delicious! Then had a couple of small meals and everything was great, service excellent and overall very satisfied. Will definitely go back again.
