We had a good time . Our server was great but other server where smashing dishes do so hard in the back bar area that I had to ask them to do it more Quietly . I’m talking like really throwing dishes down like they are angry . I would appreciate considering guest . They were not happy that I had to call on them like three times to notice and address the noise level . I did not appreciate the angry looks I got from them .
