"A great hot spot. Live music is great, good drinks but the food is average to poor at best. A meal is about $20.00 a plate and is overcooked with no flavor. Go for drinks and music eat before u go."

"The food was very bland. I had a ribeye and it had no discernible seasoning on it at all. It was cooked correctly but definitely the poorest steak I have eaten in a restaurant. My wife also found her food bland. The waiter was great, though (Scott)."
