All 3 of our entrees were very good! Service was very good too. It would be nice if they did something to improve the acoustics. Pretty loud, but still a great experience! We would definitely go back!

We really wanted to enjoy the place, but the pork and fried chicken dishes were both overcooked and dry. The cocktails were overpriced and had unappealing garnishes and flavors that did not match their menu descriptions. The bar and wait service was too busy to attend to is sufficiently being understaffed and overworked. We spent $150 for two, and it just was not at all worth it. Didn’t even want to take home the leftovers.
