    I made reservations with hopes of enjoying live music to find out upon arrival the schedule for live music was changed and it was DJ only. My overall experience was great. The food was tasty, customer service from all staff was excellent, the DJ and the ambiance was great.

    Valets in self-park overcharge. What is supposed to be $10, they are charging unsuspecting patrons $20. Diners are not given a receipt even when requested on the hand held device. Servers only indicate that a gratuity has been added when asked. A request for an additional tip with percentage recommendations make it appear as though no gratuity has been added already.

    Our waitress was really nice… the oxtail sliders were delicious I just wish they could’ve been a little hotter when it came out. Enjoy the truffle fries with the side sauce

    It was fight night so I was trying to be understanding but it could’ve been better. My party was almost 20 minutes early and I was hoping to get seated early. Not their fault, however They told me they would clean the table off and try to get my table of 4 seated. After being told continuously 30 minutes that the table was being cleaned, the fight being over, we were seated 20 minutes after our scheduled time. Once we were seated, we were told that there was a cat fish special that was $14.99 but once we closed the bill, the menu had changed and we were never told and the special had gone up to $20. It would’ve been nice courtesy to have that communicated. Would’ve been a better experience if we could’ve been seated at our scheduled reservation time so we could see the fight. Cat fish was over cooked and fries were not seasoned. Host was patient and tried their best to be accommodating but experience overall was not pleasant.
