    We’ve been here before. Sometimes the service and food are good but mostly it’s frustrating. Service is terrible. Drinks are expensive, meh and they’re really stingy with the liquor. I would have said something to the server but it took forever to even get them and he never came back. It’s convenient and the patio is nice enough but save yourself the money and frustration.

    The lounge,bar area is trendy and ambiance there is great. We ate outside and I’d say that’s the 2nd best location to select. Food was excellent. Presentation was nothing special, but we cleared our plates!

    Our group of 9 had some food sensitivities/allergies and there were plenty of delicious options for everyone! The staff was amazing and the food/drinks were very reasonable priced. 10/10 will be returning again!

    Our server, Michael, was wonderful. Very attentive and our dinners were delicious. (Salmon and ribs). Our only complaint is that our Old Fashioneds had way too many bitters in them! Otherwise a very good experience and we’ll definitely be back!

    Our waiter was very efficient. It was very busy in the restaurant so the noise level was extremely high, hard to talk to my husband. Food - My husband (Jerry) started with a very boring Caesar salad, tasted like bottled dressing, not made the correct way. I (Julia) had a Wedge salad that was good with a couple strips of crisp bacon, tomatoes and Maytag Blue cheese dressing. I have been ordering Matag blue cheese from their farm in Iowa for years.. and I love it. My husband ordered the wonderful bourbon glazed salmon (moist and delicious) he said the creamy spinach was good too, but the mashed potatoes were just ok. I am retired Executive Chef and College Culinary Arts Instructor so I am always very judgmental of food. I ordered the crab and shrimp burger and it was good, although I would have loved a gluten free bun. It came with crisp fries and we ordered a side of cream corn. It was ok, but I have enjoyed better. We didn't have dessert, but what we saw from other diners looked good. All in all we had a nice time, decent meal and it was enjoyable. We will go back again. Thank you, Julia and Jerry B.
