We had reservations for New Years Eve and we confirmed. We got there but the place was closed! Nobody called us and it was very difficult to go somewhere else. The entire evening was wasted...IT is very unprofessional to close and not call the people who made reservations for NYE

Drove an hour there only to find the the door locked at 8:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve in the middle of a storm as we got soaking wet trying to figure out what to do or where to go? Called the restaurant yesterday and barely got an apology. Very unprofessional.

Had a reservation for 4 people at 5:30 on New Year’s Eve. The place wasn’t even opened yet. Banged on the door no response. Looked into the window no lights on. Went somewhere else to eat.

Te raspberry gummy bear drink was delicious! They were out of tenderloin so that was a bummer for me. I had the chicken caprece instead & it was delicious. We got the Brussel sprouts appetizer. I do not recommend that. It was like a gallon of salt was put in it. Super cute place will definitely go back.

Ordered sliders; corn beef; any Strip steak sandwich; all with fries. Mozzarella cheese sticks and chicken strips as appetizers. The food was cooked exactly as ordered. The service was punctual and very attentive. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting.
