This was an awesome experience. From the waitstaff to the food everything was perfect. I definitely recommend the steak tips. Cooked to perfection and so very tender. The French fries that came with the meal were absolutely delicious!! I will most definitely retrain.

It was a busy day, so we understand that things can get mixed up on days like this. Ordering the food was quick and easy, but getting our bill was a different story. The server added an item we didn’t order, so we compromised and told her we’d just take that drink instead to make things easier for her. However, getting that last drink took forever. When she came back, she explained they had to override the transaction, which is why it took a little longer. The odd part was that when we received the new bill, the total was exactly the same as the original one—with the incorrect item removed. That was strange—how do you take something off the bill and still end up with the same total as before? Anyway, we ended up paying it. Just a weird experience overall.

What a great place, in a real "happening" town! Enormous venue, but run very efficiently. Very nice staff, willing to accommodate. Reservations highly recommended. Delicious food, with lots of variety, served quickly. Also, lots of gluten-free and vegetarian options; who knew cauliflower-crust pizza could be made tasty? AMAZING draft beer selection. Easy parking in the underground city lot a block away. Plenty of sports tv's for the fans. Great for both an upbeat youthful crowd and for families. Very reasonable prices (especially compared to Newport or Boston).

This is the third time we have dined here. Last night seemed like an off night. I ordered the steak tips and they were very fatty. The last few times they were great. Overall all of our food was not as good as usual. I think there was a big function going on upstairs so maybe that created the inconsistency.
