   Very understaffed. We waited 10 minutes for anyone to come by then still hadn’t received drinks (water even) until after the food came. I mentioned I was splitting a large combo with my husband. They delivered one plate to a table of 2. Super confused as any interaction we had was with a different Employee. Thenyhey asked if we wanted anything else and I ordered a cocktail because we were planning on participating in the ax throwing. We waited an additional 20 mins and I had to get up and ask to close out the check. This new guy who never stopped over the entire time said he removed the second drink order and I said. haha. I said that’s just great because you aren’t doing me any favors. He told us her was our waiter but he had too many tables. Oh well.

   We sat outside and had a great date. New menus as of a couple months ago, so we both branched out and tried new things!

   The server was nice, just slow. He seemed to be the only one in the entire section. The food was great.

   Went specifically for the “Sippin’ Santa” holiday tiki cocktail popup experience. Unfortunately, the cocktails all seemed off. We ordered the Sugar Plum Mai Tai, the Choquito, we wanted the most important cocktail - the Sippin’ Santa - but they were out of it, so we ordered the Jingle Bird. These cocktails were not great and felt like the ingredients listed in the drinks were missing in several instances. Tiki drinks are usually bold and flavorful, these all felt watered down; missing spices, balance, and freshness. The food saved the evening because it was actually quite good.

   We made reservations for 10:30pm last Friday, we then realized the restaurants closed at 11pm. We called to confirm the closing time and reservation time with the restaurant they said it was fine and that they didn’t have a closing time for the kitchen. We were told that even if we walked in at 10:55pm they would still serve us. We got to the restaurant 10 mins before our reservation time and right away felt the annoyance of the server. He was not friendly and right away told us the kitchen would be closing soon so we had to place our food order. We felt rushed the rest of the night, the food was brought out by another server and she was also not friendly at all! We then spoke to the supervisor because at that point our friendsmas dinner had been ruined. The supervisor apologized and all but it still didn’t take away the bad vibe and the bad experience. I advised her that maybe they shouldn’t allow reservations to be made that late if they close at 11! Overall the food was good other than my fried chicken that was overcooked and too hard to chew. The decorations of the restaurant were cute as well. I just wish we would’ve gotten better service.

   Ribs were burnt & dry. They brought me another set of ribs but they weren't any different. I bought a 3 meat plate and they only charged me for 2 since I didn't like the ribs but still I would rather have had good ribs. Everything was too dry, the wings & the cornbread too.

    A great place to watch football and enjoy an energetic atmosphere. Great service, great food. It was an amazing place to have dinner before the Hockey game.
