Food was great. We told waitress about son’s food allergy and what he wanted to eat. She said she would check but didn’t come back. They then served my son the food. Luckily we asked if they had double checked the allergens, because they HADN’T checked and had served my son food that would have caused a reaction. Not ok.

We wanted to like our experience, but it was a bit underwhelming. After waiting for several minutes at the hostess stand for the hostess and servers to finish discussing how they were going to seat all of the walk-ins, we were finally seated at our booth. Then we were asked to switch to another booth due to a large party who needed ours. Ordered the dry ribs appetizer which was really good. For dinner my husband ordered the steak sandwich, which was tough and overcooked and didn’t get the gravy he ordered with the fries. I ordered the teriyaki sesame salmon which didn’t come with the sesame seed seasoning and was a little dry and just underwhelming with the incredibly dry white rice and run of the mill veggies that came it with. The kitchen put the hubby’s brown gravy on my salmon dish…our server was nice and she tried but overall it was just okay, nothing exciting, sorry!

Their chicken Nachos with wonton tortillas are excellent and more than enough to share.

If you’re going to watch the hockey game, understand before hand that they also play music during the game as well as the game audio. So it’s definitely a little annoying having both audios going at the same time, I asked multiple times for them to just play one or the other, and or turn down the music. But nobody did anything about it, our server and the food were great. Just a heads up if you’re going to catch a hockey game there!

Our server was doing the best he could but had too many tables assigned to him. The restaurant needed more servers so that wait times would be better. Food tasted great!
