    We had an early reservation for 5:30 PM so we could put our kids to bed at a decent hour. The waitress forgot our appetizer order and we were waiting over an hour for our food. They did not put cheese on my daughter's cheeseburger and they had to take it back to the kitchen to add it. We had very hungry and grumpy kids. A couple that arrived after us got their food before us. The food was good and the live music in the dining room was nice, but the service was lacking this time. We have had lunch here before and had a better experience.

    Hostess sat multiple walkins before even though we had reservations at 615. Was rude when approached about the fact that walkins were getting seated before. Tables were packed into small spaces. Not enough room to sit without elbows bumping or knocking the table.
