Our food and server were excellent. The only issue we had was the noise level was extremely high. We were there on a Friday evening towards the end of happy hour. We thought the noise would have lessened afterwards, however, it didn't. We would not let that deter us from going back.

Tried ordering an App and they didn’t have any left. Ordered our meals and drinks. 5 min later the server came and said they didn’t have any left of what I ordered. Another 5 mins went by and the server came back and said they couldn’t make my drink because they were out of that too. Ended up cancelling our entire meal and went and ate at another place.Will never go back.

Server did not 'have her head in the game' -- brought one of us some other table's drink, and acted like it was our fault, not apologetic at all. And took her sweet time correcting it with the right one. She just seemed like she had been given more tables than she could handle. A different server brought the food, which was all good. This place is conveniently located, although now the infamous "sinkhole that ate the bus" makes it very hard to park at the Westin anymore, so parking is a problem.

Everything was great! We started with some Caesar salads which were pretty decent size for a side salad. Followed by the chili cheese fries. They were to die for!! I got the Cajun shrimp Alfredo and my wife got the Parmesan crusted chicken. Both were great and full of flavor. And for desert we had the molten lava cake. It was a tad small for two to share but it was delicious. The ambiance was so cool! We will definitely be returning.

Service was not very good. Had the reservation, got there on time and was seated, but then took a very long time to see our server, and would not come back regularly. My wife's order was wrong and missing an item. Food was good but very bad service.

Our waitress was not very attentive or pleasant. She didn’t wish me a happy birthday even though we were clearly celebrating it. Additionally, she didn’t bring our plates for our appetizer. Moreover, only my fiancé, dad, and I enjoyed our meals. Other family members said that the waffles for the chicken and waffles were tough and that the steak for a salad was overcooked and overdressed. I usually enjoy this place, but my fiancé and I have received much better service on their “prime” nights (Friday and Saturday). I’m not sure if I would visit them on a slow weekday night or Sunday again.
