Last night, was probably the highest level of service I’ve gotten, since I’ve been there, though, extremely attentive waiters, considering the fact that we only ordered two drinks, very excellent service.

It's definitely not a place where you can have a satisfying dinner. We tried the fried chicken with hot honey and the meatballs, both of which were tasty! Unfortunately, we ended up needing to find dinner elsewhere afterward.

Just want to warn the people. Also they ran out of oysters by 7:30pm. Bad luck for me. Otherwise very good drinks and atmosphere.

When we pointed out the mistake, they were quick to correct it, which we appreciated. However, the martini we ended up with was quite flat and lacked any real flavor of pepperoncini. Unfortunately, our interaction with the bartender was minimal. We were greeted with a simple “hi, do you want anything else?” and wished a good night without any further engagement. There were no check-ins or personal touches that would have made the experience feel more welcoming.
