Had 7 PM reservation was ignored until 720 No one there to check you in yet plenty of employees running around very very busy but was ignored standing there. finally was seated 20 minutes later. No server came to the table for over 15 min. No water no bread. Asked the bus boy for water and bread that came 10 minutes later. Was just about ready to leave when the owner came over and says have you been helped yet? No!! After that, things seemed to run smoothly Great food server was very pleasant and gave us free dessert for the hassle . I’ll go back and give it a second chance.

The appetizer was a bit greasy The main courses were excellent. The waiter was slow I don’t think he liked that we were using our opentable bonus award.

They offer an open menu which lets you build your own meal, selecting whether you want a salad or not, which type of salad, what dressing, then which entrée, what type of sauce, and finally add any number of sides. All prices were clearly spelled out allowed us to completely control our meal to a budget. The only down side was the cocktails were slightly expensive and we did not know we ordered a premium liquor. The staff are very friendly and service was excellent.
