Excellent food. Great staff. They allowed me to change my reservation time at the last-minute. My mistake--I also accidentally reserved for the wrong number of people but they accommodated with no issue. Food was awesome. Staff was friendly. We stayed late after they closed and they didn't say a word or do anything to hint that we needed to leave. Great time by all and no one had a single complaint.

The experience was excellent! In the beginning, though, we had to wait for over an hour because it’s Christmas Day! Understandably, nonetheless a bit frustrating. Ty did a good job in serving us! Did not have to wait too long for the beverages. Food was excellent as always! Karina was very very entertaining! Loved every moment! Although I did forget my son’s second refill of Shirley Temple, everything else was just enjoyable!

My kids love the food and it was really good last night. Waiter was great and the cook was good. It’s always noisy but it wasn’t bad. It was a birthday celebration for my son but they didn’t sing the birthday song or bring him a treat…
