    Had a reservation made at 9PM, wasn’t sent a text to be seated until 9:50PM, which at that point I found a new restaurant.

    Drinks had no carbonation in them and we returned them two times and still none....4 different "servers" no consistency and while the food came out quickly- we couldn't get any server for a long time.....the costs were high an, service poor and it was HOT inside..the doors were open which had all the humid air fill the space. Horrible- won't go there again....all 4 of us were dissatisfied.

    Great birthday dinner! My wife brought me here for a big steak, and I was happily treated with a giant 44oz tomahawk!! From the presentation, flavors, great service and cool ambiance with actual cool background music piped through the restaurant. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion or just a night out! 😋

    Had a great time for my birthday brunch! Food was great and reasonably priced, and the bottomless brunch was a great value. Our server was very friendly and professional. It was quiet, but likely because it was raining outside. The only small complaint I have is that I wish their credit card policy for large parties was listed here or on their website. They only take up to 4 payment methods (including cash) and cannot split the bill by item.
