    We had a large party so we picked this casual but fun atmosphere but the service and food were even better. Great games to entertain the kids, and also the adults!

    Our server, Sara was helpful, friendly, and fun. Initially when we arrived we stood at the hostess stand for at least five minutes before anyone spoke with us, that was a bit awkward. The sliders were amazing, nachos very good but the distribution of fillings was odd in that it was all in the top, so you didn't get great chip to dip ratio on lower chips. The wings were crispy and delicious. Charcuterie board... meh at best. It had a sticker that said 07/09. I didn't notice that until it had been passed around, I think it referred to the date, which would explain why it wasn't the best looking arrangement I've seen as we were there 3 days later. Overall lovely time. The raspberry cocktail was delicious, steep at $20ea. All in all we'll be back. A few folks had never been there and I think they'd happily return.

    Food was good enough but the service was very problematic. Tons of issues and very slow to get drinks/appetizers etc. That said everyone was nice and pleasant just not on top of things.
