    Took 15 min to get a server to come to our table for water. Things didn’t get better. This is my first ever bad review and first time leaving a restaurant due to terrible service.

    Great food! Had the shrimp tacos and fried chicken sandwich. Excellent fries! Noise level was high, not due to the restaurant but rather two news helicopters flying around the entire time we were there for almost 2 hours! Great view of the city.

    The greeter at the door was super nice, she had amazing energy which made my group excited to try the restaurant out for the first time. I loved the decor and how well put together the place looked the place had a very chill atmosphere overall, however the service once we got to our table was poor and the entrees were not that good we enjoyed the appetizers but the actual meals we had we just didn’t enjoy and had to take back two entrees and as a table rated our food experience a 5/10 also our server was really rude and didn’t know much about the menu to be able to assist us with recommendations or much of anything granted she was new but she still could have had better customer service in my eyes it also was my birthday weekend so I expected amazing but isn’t a bad place just wasn’t for me

    Very well designed restaurant with very good food. May try outside seating next time. We sat in a booth in the bar. The tables for two did not appear to be a good choice. We were told that the booths in the dining area were reserved for four. They were all empty at that time. Good service.
