    I used to go here a lot. They have changed their menu. First, my favourite Smokehouse Burger is not served on a brioche bun. Food was okay, but there wasn't as much choice as I would like. But, best part was the noise level. I could have a normal conversation!

    Food was decent service was horrible. Wasn’t busy at all but service was a joke. Thursday night at 6:30 so not sure what they do when they’re busy! Tables were dirty and girls standing around chatting but not working. Much better places to go like Local or frankly anywhere else. Would not return

    Server took forever to get us our order, drinks and then food. She took more drink orders but didn’t think about cleaning the table. Either they were short staffed or she’s not trained well. Food for cost is subpar. No wonder this place had a lot of reservations available. 12 chicken wings for $40! Seriously?!?
