    We think the food is OK. It is not very good or better. Service is good definitely. Noise levels are very very high.

    We had reservations which was a good choice since the restaurant was busy. Nicely decorated for Christmas. The service was excellent. My husband and I ordered salads, they were ok. One son ordered a burger and fries and loved it. The other son ordered a pizza and fries, and we all had a slice. Really delicious. We shared a slice of key lime pie. Also, really delicious. The prices were what you would expect. We will go back again.

    I’m sure the bar is great, but as a dining experience it is not the best. This was the second time I came here and was greeted by the hostesses like I had three heads! Both times I entered the restaurant they looked at me like we weren’t allowed in or something. Then got very confused on how to seat our family even though no one was in the restaurant (not a very big family only 2 children). Our salads were very good though and my husband liked his burger. Not sure if I’ll be back, maybe for takeout!

    The food here is always very good. The service is hit or miss. Last night we had a wonderful server. It would be nice if they could keep that consistent here.

    It’s a typical bar food experience with a better than average decor and ambiance, drinks are not anything over the top and the food needs more attention to detail, so many things can be done to enhance their menu. From the quality of ingredients used to the overall look and feel of the dishes. It can be a successful place but it’s stuck in a rut, you just can’t throw darts at the wall and see what sticks in hope that it works.

    Pretty good experience overall. We had pumpkin ravioli (not very hot when delayed coming out of the kitchen) and fish tacos - good flavor but lots of filling. Service was fast - Camille. Ordered mocktail without ice - would have been nice for them to fill the extra juice. I think there was a live band - pretty noisy for normal conversation level. Would go to again but more for happy hour events.
