    Food was excellent as was the service! I had the braised short ribs which were nothing short of amazing & perfectly prepared. The pita chips that went with the artichoke dip was also delicious! I will definitely be back

    MRVan was great he made us feel more than comfortable. For this to be last minute we had a great time. I wish it was more space seating a big section but still I loved it!

    Went for Brunch on a Saturday. The service was exceptional, I was a little concerned on how fast our food came out. My wings were a little small but they were good plus I feel like they gave me extra due to the fact that they were. The food was really good. It is loud but it’s more like a party vibe, which I didn’t mind. Will definitely return.

    The service was great! My server was very attentive and timely. The food was good. But it was not hot when it arrived at the table. It was warm, but cooling. Please, note the chicken wings were off the hook! They were awesome!

    It was a little bit more busier than usual but the food was good and service was a little slower but still good. Food came out quicker and I appreciated the overall quality.
