Our server was friendly and provided excellent service. We didn’t have to wait too long for our food and drinks either. Just a heads-up: they do require a credit card to be kept on file before placing your order. I would give it a 9 out of 10, only because the drinks could have been a bit stronger. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Drinks were delicious. Not enough Uno cards for a bigger party to include others. Cool for a date night and small group. I also didn’t appreciate the sitting arrangements. There was no lights near our table to even read the menu. Would only recommend for date night and smaller parties

We were seated promptly, but it took 15 minutes to be greeted. Our waitress kept passing by us until we had to literally stop her and ask if we could place an order. While giving her our drink order, another waitress came up and they began to go back and forth about who would serve us. That left us feeling very unwanted mind you. She eventually “placed our order. I put quotes around “placed” because after 30 minutes, nothing ever arrived. The food, the drinks, or the waitress. We saw her deliver food and drinks to the tables around us, 4 of which came after us! At this point we had enough and stopped our waitress to cancel the order. She just said “okay” and walked away. Not an apology or “let me see what’s taking so long”. Nothing. Very upsetting experience and will not be returning. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Meal type: Lunch
