    We had a new waitress - her second day - but she did an awesome job, especially dealing with two small, rambunctious kids. Food and beer always tasty here.

    Food was good overall. It’s a lively and energetic atmosphere. Our server could’ve been having a bad day, but she seemed a little agitated most of the time. Nothing major, but definitely noticeable. We will go back.

    Went yesterday for Father’s Day - our group of 4 which was 2 adults and 2 kids. Restaurant was great space, good ambiance and food/drinks were good, however the service was so poor it really ruined the experience. For the price of it all, we won’t be returning. Our reservation was at 5:30pm and the place was about half empty when we arrived. It took at least 15-20 min before anyone acknowledged us after we sat. Someone dropped off 4 waters without saying a word and walked away. After another 10ish min, that same person returned and we found out it was our server! Never once did she say, “hey, welcome in! Here’s your waters, I’ll be back in a few to take your order.” We eventually did order and had to keep pressing her when we wanted to add more to the order because we were afraid we’d never see her again. Half the orders were wrong and drinks took forever (food actually came out in decent timing - probably because they had food runners and it wasn’t up to the server), but it wasn’t worth hunting her down to correct it or who knows how long it would take to even receive the correct items. Drinks were wrong, sides were wrong, items from dishes were missing…we would’ve ordered dessert but it wasn’t worth further disappointment. I had high hopes for this place. Maybe we just caught a bad day? Maybe our server was just filling in?
