    The food was really good. Our server was very nice and helpful. I took my girlfriend here to celebrate her graduating from college today. Multiple workers walked up and congratulated her which was very kind of them. 10/10 overall experience

    Bar service was severely lacking for a none busy time of day. My husband and I sat at the bar for a solid 15 minutes with 4 bartenders before our order was taken.
