Restaurant was out of an ingredient for the first drink I ordered, and they were out of one of the food items we wanted. Very strange for a Friday night...

Delicious food! Great place to eat for groups. The location is great, and atmosphere was fun. Our waiter did an excellent job as well. Try the spinach dip for an app, the steak, or the scallops, and definitely give the brussel sprouts a go. Everyone at our table cleared their plates!
