I visit this place all the time, there is always excellent service, I can say this time it seem they forgot about my reservation time, until I said something after waiting 11minutes later watching them seat and help others but that gets a pass no biggie they were polite, professional still and overall I had a phenomenal time like always, I have videos of this place on YouTube to watch the amazing experience.

I attended the Happy Hour event which was quite amazing. The food was delicious especially the prime rib sliders. They also had clam casino, shrimps and sweet potatoes fries which was delicious. I would definitely come back.

Lots of people eat here just for the experience…. And rightly so! It is quirky and fun but we have eaten here a number of times with many different people and the food is always really good… just keep in mind that fresh tomatoes in the winter aren’t great. Wished I had ordered the beet salad rather than the Victor salad.
