We arrived at our reservation but the lady in front was on the phone for a while. Another server noticed and had to come to check us in. We came from an hour and a half trip and was bummed for no viles because that’s what we came for. They said we can bring our receipt but we won’t be able to come back Took a bit for service but once our drinks arrived it was an overall was fun and great experience!
