    Went to brunch for Father’s with my kids. They had a great specials menu for the day and the kids menu is really good with nice options. Always enjoy dining here.

    The food is okay and the service is not the most attentive. I’ve been here multiple times and am never overwhelmed by the experience. The music is also SO loud it’s very difficult to have a conversation. It seems like they’re trying to make it into more of a bar ambiance at night.

    The atmosphere was nice but quite loud, which made conversation a bit difficult. The food was decent—nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it was an okay experience, though not sure I’d rush back.

    Quality of food and drinks are amazing but the service is horrible and servers are very rude. Do not expect customer service in this restaurant.
