    Food was good but portions are too big. Music was a little loud and not a great channel but it was ok. Service good and value good.

    Good was awesome - better that expected. Clean and nice interior. Server was great- happy and polite. We did have a 8:15 reservation so it was late. The other staff did interrupt a few times to take the condiments and things off the table? End of night cleanup - probably should have waited till we left. Other than that it was a really great experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
