   I think that this was my fifth time dining here and will likely be my last. It’s well known locally that the service here is terrible but I’ve always found that the food and great cocktails make up for it. I came here to celebrate a birthday last night and ended up being embarrassed that I had recommended this place to my friends in the first place. The DJ was so loud we had to scream at one another and any server we managed to get a hold of just to try and communicate. My friend was sat beside me, 30 cm away, and I didn’t hear a word she said all evening. This naturally complicates trying to discuss ordering anything with your group or even have a conversation over dinner. This lead to us and several tables around us sitting and eating in awkward silence. It took us 15 minutes just to get water. Our pizza was soggy and falling apart so we scooped most of it up with forks because we knew no one would check on us until we were finished. The servers are really just bussers as anytime I tried to ask one a question I was referred back to my own phone. They want you to order everything and pay from your phone which ended up causing us a lot of extra work and headache even though we had to pay an automatic 18% gratuity…. for walking out a plate? As a server myself, I understand that things can get hectic on a Saturday night, but this is truly a sad excuse for customer service. While I’ve been here a few times with no DJ and still had bad service, the noise definitely doesn’t help because even the one server who was friendly could barely hear us and vice versa. We couldn’t even order dessert for the birthday girl as there’s no dessert menu or server you can ask without waiting 20 mins or having to shout. My friends were all disappointed and unimpressed and we left as quickly as we could. I had to apologize profusely to my friends for such a bad experience, I hope management starts prioritizing guest experience rather than just online sales.

   Services is slow, there was one server for the entire place, and 18% tips are included. Ambient and food is very good but need more attention to details

   The vibe is nice, need more servers and the music is too loud to hear the person beside you. I would go back for pre gaming before going out

   The food was very tasty, the hamburger salad and pizza all good value, chicken tacos expensive but good. The lower rating is due to the exceptionally slow service. We could not get a server to check on us, bring water, the check etc. without trying to flag one down several times. It wasn’t overly busy and servers and manager were standing and visibly chatting on the restaurant floor. The real issue is that an 18% gratuity was added to the bill for a party of 4! Had we not noticed it we would have tipped more for lacking attentiveness and service.
