We liked it fine but the food wasn't as good as we would expect from such a popular place- or I should it was very mixed. Some of the things we got were really good, some were so-so.

The food was less than average, and I was so disappointed, as it had such great reviews. The food was bland, and the cocktails were very tasteless. Our server was nice. We will not be back.
