    We stopped in for dessert. It was okay. Service was fair. I had to ask a couple times for more water. Our server wasn’t attentive.

    Let’s start with the positive. Fantastic service! Great food, at decent price. We had a good time. Enjoyed it. Will go back. Unfortunately, we were at the table seated next to the kitchen doors. I will hear corner in my sleep for at least a week. This is what they would yell every time they went in and out of the kitchen. It got to the point we just made a joke out of it, but I would always ask from now on to never sit by the kitchen.

    Great experience, the first time we went about 5 years ago it was awful. We decided to try it again and it was SO worth it.

    Jerry was the best server I have encountered in a long time. Total highlight of our visit. Food was fine. Decor felt like what i expected. A little dated. Cliche special occasion vibes. It was fun. Our 13 year old had been asking to go and really enjoyed “cooking” his own food. Good if pricey family meal.
