Everything was great except there were too many people in the bar area so they were very close to my table. Plus servers had to carry food over our heads to get by due to the crowds. But other than that it was a good experience.

Unfortunately we booked for 7. When we arrived only 6 seats were available. Really made eating incredible uncomfortable and awkward. We were still made to pay for the 7th person even though no seat was available. Really negative attitude from server over issue.

Great place for happy hour with friends or pre-theater dinner. Their menu is causal and seems to have something for everyone. They have nightly drink specials which add variety. It's a very warm/friendly vibe.

Really incredible. Loved Jacklyn Hyde’s performance and singing and our server Daisy kept the mimosas flowing the whole time. We love bringing visitors to the city here because it’s a great location and because the vibes are always immaculate.
