    Great evening out with family. We had older children in our party and they were very welcome. Our server was excellent, and the food was outstanding.

    The food was actually pretty good but the service was terrible. We arrived for our 7:00 reservation and ordered drinks, appetizers, and our entrees quickly. Drinks and appetizers were great but our entrees took over an hour to arrive after our appetizers. The server said multiple times it would be out very soon and would come back and say it again. We had the sliders, burger, and tacos and no one finished their meal. We were ready to go home and frustrated with the experience.
