    Our family of four had a great time and our waiter was amazing. He was very attentive and always refilling our drinks so quickly. My son enjoyed the live music so much.

    Book a reservation at 6:15pm two weeks ago. Didn’t sit until 7pm. Food and drinks took 45 minutes to prepare. Didn’t leave establishment until 9pm.

    The hosts and bartender were very friendly and engaging. The store employee was absent for several minutes and then not particularly helpful. I was also disappointed by the quality/poor nutrition of the food--particularly given the high price. My waitress came to my table far too many times and was too pushy for me to order various items—I found her behavior intrusive.

    Great service, management was working hard alongside the servers. It was typical tourist restaurant, expensive food that would be 25% less in an average town. No complaints. Service was super friendly.

    Waiters were kind but the food took a while. The steak I understood but the mash potatoes came out last. It was a cool vibe but not the most lovely dovey for Valentines Day. Would go again but just for fun. Food a little to pricey for the taste quality. Bathroom was nice but the floor cleanliness could have been better.
