It was birthday and I always wanted to go! First time ever and it was a vibe the whole time. The music, the servers, the food, the ambience. It was like being in a club but being able to eat as well. I would’ve loved to have gotten a birthday song but someone else was there celebrating her sweet 16 and I didn’t want to steal her shine. 16 is more important 34 lol

Food was excellent. Server nice but I would have liked ice in my iced tea—and a refill. But once we were served she never returned until it was bill time. There were 4 tables in service so certainly not busy.

We had a nice experience at the restaurant and our server Mackenzie was lovely and most accommodating of a special request. Only reason for 4 versus 5 stars was the limited menu.

The lighting was too fluorescent including the buffet table. The buffet table would look better with decor.
