    The food was pretty good! But the restaurant is very drafty and cold, I will never eat here again in the winter. We even asked to be moved to a warmer table and it was still cold, we wore our coats the whole time.

    We brought a large group and had a great time! We were given seating upstairs and it was great to have conversations with one another. Delicious barbeque.

    Food was excellent. Servers were inattentive and missed simple requests. Food quality is enough to go back- really nice menu items that was a nice change of pace.

    Kristin, thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to review us and hoping your next visit is better. Anymore details on the server would be helpful as we are always looking to coach our team on steps of service. All the best, Ashley

    A new dining abode discovered. Very nice and not inexpensive, but not real pricey. Good food and service. Will return.

    Food was not good. Brisket was dry and shouldn’t have been served. I sent it back, and the replacement was only marginally better. Fish and Chips was ok, but the flavor was off. Suspect that the oil needed to have been changed. Waitstaff was very friendly, and tried hard. Nevertheless, somebody should have looked at the hard, dry brisket and not allowed it to be served.
