    Amazing location. To start off, they checked us in and brought us to our table. The staff was amazing and quickly got us seated as fast as I could. The location itself looked OK from the front, but once you got inside, it was more aesthetically pleasing. The waitress got our order in quickly and brought out our food. The food was amazing and met my date’s vegan requirements. Overall, I had a great experience.

    Awesome experience. Like always. But I’ll never sit at those tables that have the burner far away from you. That weird corner spot isn’t the most ideal place to eat. Always get a booth. Still we feasted and the service was 10/10. Get the Wisconsin Cheddar. That’s a cheese extravaganza. We got the Mojo, that’s a savory blend with some tang and sour. Eat slow to really enjoy the flavors.
