For the most part. It was great. We really enjoyed it. We chose to sit at the bar because we thought there was going to be some type of f or cool show drinks made smoked something like that. There wasn’t that. However, the drinks we had were all phenomenal. Really good flavor. They only serve appetizers, so definitely try and eat at the restaurant first, but the appetizers were delicious.
