    It took longer than usual to get our dinner. Then one person didn't get their salad before their dinner until reminded and had to be reminded. Another person who was the only one who ordered a sandwich was the last person to get his meal ... much later than the rest of us. Another person requestes no gravy on their mashed potatoes cause of Celiac had gravy on it. Then she said a manager would come over and never did.

    We really like the venue. Very large and can get loud but like the setup. Service can get a little slow when they get busy. Comfort food at its best. For the first time I tried their sushi rolls and they were very solid. Not what you get at a sushi restaurant (fish portions small) but I would certainly order them again.
    Culinary Dropout - GilbertResponded on 22 November 2024
    Hi Dale, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the venue and the comfort food. We completely understand that it can get a little loud and busy at times, but we're happy to know that you liked the setup. We're also glad you gave our sushi rolls a try and found them tasty, while they may differ from traditional sushi restaurants, it’s great to hear you'd order them again. We’ll definitely work on making sure the service stays speedy, even when we're busy! We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Candice

    The food was ok but not sure if I would go there again. We were a table of six. Our food seemed to come out in various stages. Not somewhere to go if you’re on a schedule for sure. Quite loud in there too. Made it hard to converse for sure.
