    Everything was great. Except for the place where our table was, back in the corner in back of the bar next to the bathroom & kitchen entrances. I could have asked for another table, but our waitress was so awesome, didn’t want to change her, but they should really get rid of that table location, unless they’re at capacity, which they were not last night.

    I did not like how you reserve the table and they take 100 dollars. You have to spend it all or receive a Taste gift card for the rest you don’t spend… so you don’t get the $ back that you did not spend… smh

    Went for lunch. Still a nice vibe. Much quieter, less active, but I like it like that.
