   Found a hair in my Caesar salad two bites in. They were quick to remake and very apologetic. Staff is very kind and attentive. My friend loved her shrimp tacos and she found them very filling. Chicken was dry and lukewarm.

   The food was good however the restaurant was loud. The service was not that great. There was only one waitress during dinner service and she seemed stretched very thin.

   This was advertized as a New Years Kids Celebration. We were super excited to bring our triplet boys who were also celebrating their 7th Birthday. The service was almost non existent, we had to call on other servers because our waitress was tending to everyone but us. We were in the middle of the restaurant, and folks were working around us but we felt invisible. Other customers who came after us were served promptly and left before us. Our boys put their coats on and were ready to leave before dessert, they were tired of waiting but we hesitanty asked for dessert because we wanted them to have a treat. We were tempted to have dessert elsewhere, we were in disbelief. The service was underwhelming at best, which is sad because it was our first time and we wanted our triplets to have a great time. We noted their birthday on the reservation but we didnt bother bringing it back up. My meal was forgotten and after waiting nearly an hour I asked the waitress and she mentioned in passing, it was mistakenly taken to another table, didnt apologize. It was soggy and bland. Our boys liked their sliders and seeing Bluey was a highlight for one of them. The festivities advertised were ok, definitely used the kids newyears as a marketing gimic but it was not fully embrasing of all their customers.

   We went for their family friendly countdown to 7pm NYE event. It was a blast!. I wish more restaurants do this. They had a cute little kids menu. There were mocktails. Bluey was there. There was also a giveaways. It was a great idea and it was executed well. Food was awesome per usual.

   The kid friendly nye dinner was super cute! My daughter had a lot of fun with Bluey and the dance party/countdown was so fun. It was nice to be able to go out and do something festive that was also family friendly. However, it seems they bit off more then they could chew. While waiting for our entree, someone tried to tell me that my time was up on the table. When the food finally came it was cold. There wasn’t much of a variety to choose from. The drink special I ordered taste like salt water and I had to send it back. Our waitress pretty much ignored us for most of the night. Maybe next year they should staff more accordingly? They did a great job with the festivities but the overall food and service was very disappointing.

    Great breakfast, good portions, lots to choose from. Great for families as well. Some dishes could definitely be shareable. I suggest getting a few things to try.
