   Our server was very good but only 2 servers for the entire back room of about 15 tables. There were times we needed something and couldn’t find a server for 5 minutes. So glad they brought the loaded sweet potato back. Burnt ends were too burnt, had to pick them up with fingers because fork wouldn’t go in. Flavors were awesome.

   Overall very good. A couple of slices of brisket was on the dry side, the rest of the meat was good.

   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.
