    Second time I have been here - both times service was lackluster. HH deals are phenomenal and food is good, but good luck getting more than 1 drink per hour during HH. Servers are nice but to anyone that has worked in foodservice, this place shows all the signs of being understaffed

    The server didn't pay attention to our table no water refill or asking how we were doing or how the food was. At the beginning I told my server I had my number for the loyalty program. He said give it to me at the end. He took my card before we ordered and ran the credit card without putting in my number for the loyalty program. When I remind him, he said it was too late. I had to ask for the manager for him to fix it. Now I have two charges on my card. Hopefully one will fall off.

    Probably my least favorite location as we just felt out of place and the 10+ minutes until anyone acknowledged us sitting at the table after being seated showed this. Once our wait-person came, they were decent, although once we didn't see them for another 10+ minutes. It was very loud and more of a neighborhood hangout then a great place to eat. Even though this location is closer, I'll stick to other locations.

    The food was good. The happy hour prices were amazing even on a Sunday. The wine was amazing for $5 and so weee the crab sliders. If you don’t like sauce ask for the sauce not to be on the bottom of the calamari. We also had chicken strips, corn and crab chowder and a brownie Sunday. All we would recommend. Only issue was it was super loud. The waiter didn’t come back often either.

    I always have fun when I go here. We went for Happy Hour. It turned out to be the locations 5 year anniversary so they were doing HH all day. We stay well past our intended time and we don’t feel rushed at all. This is my favorite location. Happy hour is a must do here!

    It was cool. I know they have a new menu coming Friday, but I wish the place were cleaner and more inviting, and I wish the food were more consistent. Right now, I feel like I’m experiencing diminishing returns.

    Food is always enjoyable here. Drinks are decent and the happy hour menu is great. Servers are very nice but they tend to be stretched a bit thin. Our one server had all of the high tops by the bar inside in addition to the seats outside so getting his attention when needed was a bit difficult. They also have a gnat/mosquito problem inside. I’ve been bitten on several occasions where you can visibly see the bugs flying around. I still enjoy this location but there needs to be a few upgrades.
