    Wyatt was awesome. We had a severe allergy in our party and Wyatt covered us every step. Kayla recognized me from a previous visit and made a point to stop and say hi, ask if it was an occasion (it was!). Other support staff made sure we were well taken care of. Felt like celebrities. Food was outrageously good. Thanks Wyatt, you made it special!

    The staff there were all super kind and accommodating!! We were running 30 minutes late but they accommodated us with no problems. They didn’t rush us out of the restaurant which made the dinner so nice.

    It was just ok. When we were seated the first thing the host said was we will get crowed so please keep it simple and short. We sat for an hour and 40 minutes and I have to say the place was far from crowded. I have never sat in a restaurant and told by a the hostess to keep it simple and short because they were expected to get crowded. I will say we won’t be going back. It’s a great way to not have customers going back. This place is not worth it.
