We had a wonderful experience! The service was exceptional - Joe was our server! The food was great and arrived to the table super fast. They take birthdays/celebrations to a whole different level. It was truly a memorable evening.

Everyone enjoyed their meals very much, from our grandson's chicken strips to daughter-in-law's street corn, to my chipotle chicken enchiladas to the fajitas. Our son tried the very different PGH burrito and was pleased. Take home boxes were necessary because of the serving sizes. Service was prompt and pleasant. The noise level was disappointing. That was the one downfall.
