    This was our second experience. Food was amazing. Service was great a little loud just because it was a holiday weekend in multiple people celebrating birthdays, which is why it was louder than our first experience would definitely be going back.

    Great food and lots of it for your money! Husband enjoyed all of the meat options that were in the course for 4 people. Loved being able to cook at the table on our own. Would recommend to anyone who wants something different for a meal.

    We had a large party so we were seated at a table that was rather private and walled in. It was so ridiculously hot before the grills were even turned on and we had no ventilation or air flow. We were all dressed from church and our clothes were all soaked with sweat. The service was good when she was present but she disappeared for long times. We had zero room to put all the plates of food and even had some in our laps at times. We were celebrating multiple age dads for Father’s Day and the large group experience yesterday was not a good one at all.

    The food was great. Service was just OK, but considering it was extremely busy due to Father’s Day weekend it wasn’t terrible.

    It’s always a nice experience, never a disappointment! The food is always delicious, drinks are great and it’s fun to do the s’mores at the end! Love the one in NYC and definitely happy there’s one in Cincinnati!

    We had a great time. We brought our 9mo daughter and her and the server became thick as theives. She gave us great service to see if we were doing ok or had any questions, and more importantly to see if our daughter was enjoying her food. We all enjoyed this meal and are looking forward to coming back to try new foods.

    Amazing experience for my birthday. We didn’t get our desert with our meals for 4 though. S’mores I believe. Other than that no complaints.
