    Handled our party of 10 seamlessly and even turned down the music upon request. Great food, drinks and overall experience!

    We've been to multiple locations for both the dinner and lunch and it's usually good. The brunch was okay, the poached eggs where practically raw but I guess that was what they where aiming for because it was consistent. Something about clear egg whites just isn't appealing to me. Usually you get a second sending of the steak and fries so it's warm where you eat it, only after we had ordered and eaten where we told that's doesn't happen for brunch wish we had known up front as I would have ordered differently. We will be back because the food is good but we'll skip the brunch. The service was okay but the person waiting on us seemed to forget everything we asked for and then didn't really know about the brunch food items. :-/

    They should let you know that when you go on the weekends that they serve a brunch with unlimited drinks but they don’t do the extra portion of food. This was not known and we don’t drink so that was all disappointing.

    I knew it would be busy since it was Mother's Day. The disappointing part was having 2 tables that were seated after us receive service before us. In addition, it should not take 45 minutes to receive drinks regardless of the day. Next time - staff appropriately. The food was very good. A shame that it took 20 minutes to receive the 2nd portion. Would visit again during the week when less crowded in order to have a more pleasurable dining experience.

    It was clearly overbooked but that staff deserves a raise. They were doing magic to host dozens of patrons with courtesy and speed. I’ll be back because of the food and the staff. Their reservation system needs an upgrade though.

    We had a reservation. We actually didn’t eat there. When we arrived there was a long line of people who have reservations ahead of us waiting to be seated. We asked someone in line who had a reservation 30mins before how long he had been waiting he said 30-45 mins. He was nearer to the front of the line. All of the tables were filled and it didn’t look like there would be many tables turning over soon, so we left.
