   Fun for the kids. Too loud and smokey. A bit over priced

   Celebrated Mother's Day here. The restaurant was filled with people. We had a reservation for 6 at noon. We were seated before our reservation, a HUGE plus, and were greeted by the friendliest waiter, Tony(Anthony). He was incredibly kind, helpful, and on top of his game. He always made sure we were happy and weren't missing any food/refills. Our chef was Todd. He was funny and put on a great show for us. He cooked the food perfectly and it tasted fantastic. The whole experience was top notch. We'll definitely be back again! Thanks again Todd and Tony!

   Server was new and food was over cooked. Steak, scallops, and shrimp was all burned. He was very nice but my worse chef as our food was not cooked properly and we wasted money for burned protein and veggies
