Loved ! Went for my 23rd birthday, arrived 30 minutes late to my reservations but was still able to get seated in about 40 minutes which is generous in my opinion considering how packed it was and how late i arrived. Food was AMAZING the mac & cheese was my favorite, ambiance is really nice, great music, awesome service and really good drinks. A bit pricey but nothing crazy i definitely look forward to going back
