   It's a really lovely environment, but service was really rough. When I arrived for my reservation, there was no hostess. Took over 5 minutes for anyone to even notice I was standing there. When I was finally greeted, the hostess was disorganized and confused -- like he wasn't sure what to do with someone who had a reservation. After we were seated, service continued to be extremely slow. There were maybe 3 other groups in the entire restaurant, and it took much longer than it should have to get any attention from our waitress. I thought maybe our food would redeem the experience, but when it finally arrived, it was just "meh." An extremely average burger and bland fries. Will not be returning.

   The food was excellent, however, the service was very slow for a restaurant that did not seem to be very busy. We had to wait several times for our drinks and at one point grabbed another server to find them.

   We wanted to try a new place...overall a good experience but they don’t do anything special for birthdays, events. They also do not offer any discounts at all and the menu is limited.

   Food quality was amazing, we will be back for this reason alone. The wings were huge and flavorful and the cheeseburger was cooked perfectly. Food did not all come out together, which was a bit odd but not a deal breaker. The main restaurant was not open, which concerned us at first because we had a reservation, but the atrium bar to the restaurant was open and they accommodated us there. This was our first visit to the Spooky Nook complex and navigating it was a bit confusing. There were no signs directing us from the restaurant to the atrium bar so we wandered around confused until we found an employee to ask. The atrium bar is decorated to feel like you’re outside within a huge warehouse building. It accomplished the task fairly well, and overall we really enjoyed our first experience here. We are hoping they keep trivia going every other Thursday because we can see ourselves becoming regulars.

   The food was delicious; however, service was not up to par. There was no hostess nor waitress. The poor bartender had to take care of everyone and everything. That man deserves a raise!

   It was my second time there. On both occasions the servers seemed to be bothered by our presence. Food and specials are great. We were only 1 of 3 tables and all of our food, starters and main course came out at once. :( All the food was very good and I will go back.
