The place was not too busy - 7 tables. Our server, Jessy, came with an attitude. Slow. So slow that when our food was ready she was sadly not, so our food was cold when it arrived. Tasty, but cold. When we told her this she seemed offended. We were quite hungry and some sent theirs back to be reheated, some of us just ate the cold food. The portions were VERY SMALL for the price. She must have felt a tad responsible because she offered a small reduction on the bill, which also seemed to take a while. The shame in it is the food was tasty, but the service and price of the food left a bitter taste. Too many places in this town to go to bother giving it another shot.

Stopped for a late lunch, good menu choices. The service was a little slow to start and when it came time to pay the bill. However the food was excellent. read more Stopped for a late lunch, good menu choices. The service was a little slow to start and when it came time to pay the bill. However the food was excellent.

This bar/restaurant is average all around. The food is okay, but nothing to brag about, and the drinks were priced no different than any other bar. read more This bar/restaurant is average all around.

The first thing she said was that they were out of wings and drink specials. Her attitude was dismissive and it felt like she couldn't be bothered to assist us. It seemed like she would rather us leave than make us feel comfortable in the restaurant. It was clear that she did not care about serving us.
