   Fun evening in the bar, great service. Only criticism is please dump the live music. People come to eat, drink and chat. Music gets in the way

   Very upsetting. Upon arrival staff said if we are ordering food to do so asap because the kitchen was closing at 7pm. Our reservation was made for 7pm dinner to celebrate our moms birthday and Mother’s Day. The waitress then said she was confused because kitchen always closes 8pm she took our order. Some of our food was cold, shrimp was over cooked the chicken bland. I requested for a piece of cake to be brought out to my mom for our family to sing Happy Birthday. The waitress brought it out to the wrong person. Not sure if the staff were rushing to get out of there. But they should be prepared to serve and assist clients especially if we had a reservation and it’s Mother’s Day weekend.

   Wonderful. Accommodated a group of 19 with no issues and were super helpful across the board. Highly recommended for large families!

   We were there on Sunday and ordered from the lunch menu. We have eaten there several times for dinner. Our parm chicken sandwiches were dry and my short rib Sammy was too sweet. Our coffee wasn’t hot, the second cup wasn’t either. Carrot cake was dry and took a long time to be served. We will try the dinner menu again.
