During our visit, it was a day filled with college football and baseball playoffs, so the bar crowd was a bit rowdy, but it wasn't a major issue. The service was decent; however, they only had two servers on duty, which inevitably led to some delays in receiving drinks and food. I don't hold this against the server at all, as I've worked in several restaurants and completely understand how that can happen.

The service was excellent and very friendly. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes. Our appetizer arrived promptly, followed by the main course shortly afterward. To top it all off, we enjoyed a wonderful dessert. The only downside was that the booth felt a bit cramped. Overall, though, the experience was delightful, and I will definitely be returning.

My husband and daughter waited for 15 minutes without any service, only to see an older couple seated after them and served right away. This experience led them to feel overlooked based on their appearance. My 8-year-old daughter was especially impacted by this situation. It's truly disheartening, especially since this has been one of the few restaurants where we could dine comfortably due to allergies. I will no longer be recommending this establishment and will speak openly about the treatment of Black patrons here.

Drinks were reasonably priced, and there's a spacious parking lot as well. I didn't sample the food this time, but the drinks were enjoyable. I definitely plan to return!
