The food, as always, was really great and they had gluten free and vegetarian options for those in our party needing it. This visit, our server did not return to our table to check on us until we were almost done eating and we needed water, drink refills, and condiments. Also for happy hour, you have to ask what they offer and they don't share a menu or offer up the deals even if you order the eligible items.
