Can’t say enough great things about this spot! Party of 10- they seated us immediately, food came fairly quickly even though there were several other large groups besides ours, everyone’s meal tasted delicious, portion size and taste were an incredible value (bonus- HH every day 5-7) plus they allowed separate checks!

Damien was great! Food was good and we didn’t wait long. This was our 2nd Thanksgiving there. They secretly helped us celebrate a birthday in our group. I’d say food is a tad overpriced. At some point the kitchen either cleaned the grill/flat top or burned something. The odor was terrible. Dangers of an open kitchen I guess. Killed the ambiance.
