    The restaurant had a buyout and didn’t notify us at all. Walked in and had to quickly walk out because no one would serve us.

    I came here with a bunch of friends and we really enjoyed the food and ambiance of the restaurant. For some reason there wasn't a lot of people when we went on Saturday night at 7pm. The service was good and there were lots of TVs playing sports. The only thing I didn't like is that the music was too loud. It was almost as loud as a club in there, although they played some really good beats! Overall really enjoyed taking my group here and would love to come back!

    This is not a restaurant. It is a bar with food. Just know that going in. First mistake was seeing that I could make an open table reservation here. Not needed- there was no hostess to seat us, it was a first come first serve establishment. The noise level was pretty loud, but when we realized this wasn’t a bar/restaurant its just a bar with food we lowered our expectations. This kitchen lost a couple of our orders for apps and main meals so things came out later than we would have preferred but our server was gracious and apologetic. My one kudos is they had a great beer selection.
