    Great brunch. Food was fresh and delicious. We had brunch upstairs and then took our kids down to the Disney cover band show downstairs. We all had a blast. A really nice little restaurant and small concert venue!

    First time to visit from Louisville! Came for concert! Excellent food,servers not so great! No silverware, didn’t take order in timely manner and kinda just pushed our food at us when brought our order without speaking a word! Acted as if we were bothering them when asking for anything! Meagan the manager was the only one who was helpful and was very nice in taking care of us! They could definitely use more training in how to treat their guests!( Btw it wasn’t overcrowded… we walked right in and sat down)

    The service was awesome and the show. However, I ordered hush puppies as appetizers and they were the worst I ever had. Tasted like very old grease. So I didn't order more. Also I ordered a purple margarita and that too was awful. Don't advertise the drink if no one knows how to make them.

    We enjoyed our meal very much. We arrived early for dinner and that was a good idea to find a close parking space. The Gino Vannelli concert was OUTSTANDING!! Acoustics and sound was top notch. Our only gripe was being able to see in the back rows. When buying tickets we really didn't get assistance from the seating chart. The rows are NOT slanted or on a gradient so our seats in row J depended on who was or was not seated in front of you. My husband could see but I am 5'3" and had someone tall in front of me. I had to move around in my seat to see. We figured if we come again and had to sit in the back we would pick the VERY back row against the wall or seats to the far right side facing the stage.

    Our first visit here, we came for a Gino Vannelli concert. Everyone who worked at this place was amazing!! From our hostess to the security who worked the show. Our waiters (had to use plural due to more than 1 person helping us) were fantastic!! They were short staffed but you really couldn't tell. Food was delicious, my partner had a veggie burger & I had the garage boy with bacon & the brisket chili, all was outstanding. The folks working the concert were very helpful & friendly. Very impressive first visit! We will most definitely return.

    I made reservations for 7:15 pm. We were there on time. My order was put in until 7:30 pm per the Manager. We still had not received our food at 8:05 pm. We had only ordered 2 spinach salads and tater tots. Understand Busy, however people that came in behind us 4 tables of folks got their food etc. and we didn't. I was disappointed as it had been my go to when coming to a show. We weren't even offered compensation etc. Just you came at a busy time.

    Excellent restaurant and experience! From the moment we got there it was exceptional. Our server, Courtney, was great at recommendations and very engaging! He made it so fun. Had the hummus appetizers and it was delightful. The salmon risotto was cooked perfectly and hands down the best Long Island iced tea I’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!

    Absolutely order the hush puppies appetizer with the honey butter! The best hush puppies I’ve ever eaten! You get 6 and they are deceptively filling. I ordered the Vegetarian Burger and fries which was extremely delicious and full of flavor; it’s got a little kick, but not too bad. Had the fries with that as well. My husband ordered a simple hamburger and fries and his was very good. I don’t think you can make a bad choice here. Note to self, the burgers and fries were a generous portion and I couldn’t quite finish it all. Perhaps I got filled up on the hush puppies?

    We’re on a diet and specifically asked for food to not contain a sauce or one food to be prepared a specific way, the waitress said it would be ok for the food to be prepared that way and none of what we asked for was done, multiple times forgot refills. Food was great service very sub par

    Went on a Friday prior to a concert... the food / what we ordered was very good. What was VERY annoying was the server and lack of available customization of ANYTHING on the menu. I wanted a salad -- BUT didnt want Arugula as the base 'leaf' so asked if I could get the toppings of the salad on top of the Spring Mix. "No". I wanted the Nacho Toppings but on Tater Tots and not on top of chips. "No." Wanted to TRY a salad dressing before ordering it (they offered some very unique dressing 'French Tarragon' , Pinapple Cilantro Vinegrette, Morrocan. A TASTE was going to cost $1 per taste. Mind you I wanted a drop or two on a spoon and not a cup of it. Odd. I eat our A LOT but next time I will strive to find some place near the venue and Not eat here. What I got was good but it was not really what I wanted.

    My wife and I went for a show and took advantage of being able to have dinner at the same venue. The space was great. One of the garage doors to the sidewalk was open to the street and made it seem like the space was bigger. We had burgers and fries and tater tots, all delicious. We will definitely visit there again.
