    Really loud, food was just ok, super overhyped. Though our waiter was really good, and the drinks were great.

    I heard so many great things about this place, so I decided to reserve it for my 30th birthday dinner. The food and drinks were amazing overall, the service that night with our server was not the best, we started off with drinks & my friend asked for a lyche martini. She came back with a lemon drop & thought she had asked for a lemon drop. My friend decided to keep it to not make it hastle & told us that they did not have lychee martinis. I then proceeded to ask for a shot before my dinner came out, 15-20 mins passed by and I have not received anything. Meanwhile she was at the table next to ours talking during that time. She then came over and I had mentioned about the shot, she must’ve forgot. 100% understandble, she then came back with 3 shots and said “sorry I’m distracted, it’s my sisters birthday”. I assumed her sister was the table sitting next to ours that she had been at, mind you I was there for my birthday, we had our dinner which was fantastic but then nothing was brought out after that for a birthday celebration. She also was taking awhile to check in on us,l. My reservation again was under a birthday celebration, as I was paying the tab I asked if they did anything for birthdays and she mentioned they did. At this point I was upset that nothing was brought out while the table (her sister) next to us were celebrating with back to back shots and desserts for their birthday. It just felt that my table was not as important/forgotten. I am upset how the service with the server was but the vibe was great.

    Our server was very sweet and attentive! The ambiance at this restaurant is what we really went for. Drinks were great, burger was better than we’d thought but we were unhappy with the chicken. It lacked flavor and we took a couple bites and left it.
