Happy with food and pricing. Unfortunately customer service was lacking. I was with a large party and had to get up a few time to request items they forgot. Disappointed with that especially when gratuity for a large party is automatically included. Also the noise level was over the top. Prob not the restaurants fault though. More like guests that can’t handle their alcohol constantly yelling at the top of their lungs.
