    Food and service were excellent. Our only negative was that it was so loud that we could hardly hear each other. The issue was that this is the Christmas season, and many groups were meeting, and unfortunately, they get very loud. If we return during a celebratory season, we will ask to be seated away from the groups, and hopefully have a 5 star experience!

    Made a reservation for 3 for a work holiday lunch. Sat us in Michael’s section and he did wonderfully!! First time at this location and overall it was better than the downtown location. Ample parking in a paved lot. Beautifully decorated and more spacious than downtown. Food was good, service was good, noise level wasn’t as bad as other reviews have said. We will definitely be back!!

    The noise was so so loud. Over the top loud!! Kids screaming on both sides besides the noise level in restaurant. I was together with a group of friends to celebrate Christmas. We couldn’t hear each other- not a pleasant experience. We asked to speak to the manager. He was very snarky with us which we didn’t expect or appreciate! Food was good and our server was good.
