    We went a second time in a two week period. The second time was not a great experience. We had reservations and was seated in a timely manner. The grill we had at our table was not functioning correctly. Our food wouldn’t cook fully as they tried to get the grill to function properly. They eventually sat us at another table and had to bring all the uncooked and semi cooked food to the new table. It was a pain and not a fun experience. We tried to make the best of it for the amount it costs to eat at this restaurant. The manager seemed inexperienced and lacked the customer service you would expect. He never offered to take a percentage off the bill or apologize for the inconvenience. It definitely wasn’t worth the $160 plus to eat at this restaurant.

    It was easy to get a table without a reservation on a Thursday morning, but just had to be sure. The staff was friendly. Devlyn was especially outgoing and energetic. The other server was more shy. Food was tasty, but my date and I had stomach issues immediately afterwards.
