I went with a friend, on a Wednesday evening, to hear the live band play. And it was totally worth it. They played and sounded amazing. The server, forget her name, was really courteous and helpful in making food decisions, since it was our first time there. The manager was friendly. Will definitely be coming back in the future :)
