The menu was interesting, the food very good, and the service outstanding which makes me uncomfortable not to recommend it, but the noise level overwhelmed its good features. The restaurant has hard surfaces that reflect the noise. The louder the customers were forced to speak, the worse the atmosphere became.

We were both very pleased with the flavor of our dishes, but the experience felt a bit off. Our meals arrived unusually quickly—so fast that it felt like we were at a drive-thru fast food joint. The restaurant wasn’t very crowded at the time, so it raised some questions in my mind about whether our food had been pre-prepared and just reheated at the time of our order. We made a reservation for Saturday night, expecting a busy atmosphere, but when we arrived, only about two tables were occupied, and some customers were seated outside. Additionally, the menu we found on Open Table didn’t match what was available at the restaurant; for instance, the Nashville hot chicken was missing along with a few other items. Overall, the food was delicious, but some aspects of the experience left me with doubts. We might return, but probably not on a regular basis.

The place was bustling, and both the food and service were excellent! We will definitely be returning.
