    The entire experience was a 10 out 10. Upon arriving, we will see there in the lounging area. It wasn’t long before we were seated in our igloo, which was absolutely perfect. The heat was great. They gave us our own personal speaker so we can play the music of our choice. The service was great. Nicole was one of our servers and she was like amazing. The other people that helped us were so accommodating and continue to check on us throughout our entire experience. The food was great, especially the wings. They were hitting! The rain tried to ruin our day, but it stopped And we were able to take a few pics on the rooftop.

    Although we was told we had a 85$ minimum , we never reached the limit and the waitress never said anything. The service was terrible she did not communicate well with us. Our food came out cold and was missing things . The food was not good quality. We was also charged for a drink that we asked to take back to the bar. The gratuity fee was 100 and tax was almost 60.00. For 6 people we paid 640.00 and it wasn’t worth it

    Nothing like what I saw online. The bartender/server was very kind, but there seemed to be no gluten-free options on the menu (which was part of the reason we came), and we didn’t even get to sit outside, which was the main reason we chose this establishment. In fact, once we were seated, we were so disappointed that we ordered a couple of drinks, and after 10 minutes, we left and went somewhere else. The entire reservation system is also very unnecessary. Why should I be billed for not showing up to a restaurant that’s almost entirely empty? Needless to say, it was not a very good anniversary, and it made me look like a fool in front my lady.
