Enjoyed the food and hospitality greatly. Our server, Keven, was excellent; attentive but not overly. The main dining area was super loud and we wanted to see if there was a more quiet place we could sit, and we were given the royal treatment! We will return!

Another amazing experience from start to finish. The customer service regarding allergies before dining was top notch. Our server was phenomenal and our meal was delightful. This was our third year dining here for my husband’s birthday and we are counting down the days until our next visit. Thank you!

I'm sure on game days it might be a bit more noisy/bustling, but there's a separator between the bar/high top area and the 'dining room' so on a Saturday night, it was reasonable volume to have a conversation over dinner. Free parking is available right outside in a small lot, food was tasty and came out in a timely manner, happy to find another restaurant we enjoy in the area.
