The food was awful. No seasoning or nice plating. The serving sizes of the entrees were that of HALF an appetizer and that’s generous. The service was awful. My waitress kept spilling water all over the table and wouldn’t clean it up afterwards, when we would call her over to our table when she wasn’t busy she would ignore us and walk away(multiple times). She couldn’t explain the items in the menu and couldn’t offer any guidance on picking popular items. The bathrooms were a disaster… probably has not been maintained the entire day. The ambience of the room was poor it didn’t live up to the pictures. I have concluded that any 5 star reviews have been bought since they are praised for everything that the 2star and below rating have complained about. Overall I am deeply disappointed with picking this restaurant and I wouldn’t go back even if they offered me a free full course meal.

The food was very good, and they had pretty good variety! Service on drinks took a little longer than expected, but the products were also delicious! Beautiful ambience, too

Surprised they only have iced coffee. The chicken & waffles were average as was the short rib hash. The pineapple coconut French toast was good though.
