    So I decided to book my birthday dinner here with all of my friends. At the time when I went to go book 3 weeks in advance, the party room of 25 was already booked for the time slot that I wanted me and my friends to meet. And then on top of that only having the room for two hours, I didn’t know when everyone was going to show up so I would rather just book a regular table. Even though my party was of 17 people JC, which was my server was absolutely the best.!!! he got everyone’s order correct down pack to the drinks and everything pretty much came out super quick out of the kitchen. I also had cupcakes and dipped items that needed a fridge, which they took care of that also.! All of the hostesses and bartenders were extremely accommodating! I had the best time ever, knowing that everything went really really smoothly! thank you again for giving me the best birthday!
