We explained that when we called they said no reservation was needed. She told us she prefers if we do whatever the hell that means. I 'd prefer she do her job without a bunch of attitude but we can 't always get what we want canwe? There was ample seating available. Here 's hoping the food 's better than the greeting. Food overall was good even if theportions seemed a bit meager. Caesar salad was well dressed and the dressing was tasty.

Food is pretty good I think it's overpriced. Avoid the Maryland style crab cakes. The Korean meatballs arenot a hit they're way too sweet. The Brussels sprouts are the win. Just come here and order a couple of beers and get about abale of brussel sprouts. The Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich was simply okay. The spice is nice. The chicken is a chickenbreast so of course it's dry and sad. The sauce that is provided on the table will make everything okay.
