It was mynson and my birthday and there was no acknowledgement of our birthdays even though it was on the reservation so that was disappointing. Otherwise, the food was good.

Great experience. Food was good , atmosphere was excellent. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the music. We sat in the bar and the music was so loud that everyone was shouting. Not a deal breaker but would be more enjoyable if it were a bit quieter.
