We had a wonderful evening. The hostess was friendly. Our server Yasmin was awesome. She was attentive, professional and courteous. Our salad was properly dressed. Steaks and fries were perfectly prepared. Wine serving was a good pour. Key lime pie was refreshing.

Yasmin was a fantastic server! We went for bottomless brunch and enjoyed the screwdrivers and steak and eggs. Some of my favorite fries ever! Excellent music choices and not too loud to hear people at your table

Maybe our table was right next to the 2 drunk women, they were spilling drinks, banging mirror behind one woman by talking way too loud almost like screaming, couldn’t even hear what was playing background nor waitress had to raise up her voice to ask about what we were ordering because we wouldn’t be able to hear at all. I like food and attentive staff, hope tables can be a bit more space and if staff could advise some of “extreme” loud folks to keep it down a bit. That was the only issue that we had.

Super loud but a great time. Our train broke down so we were 20 min late to our reservation on a busy Friday night and they still got us in in less than 10 minutes. Yasmin was an amazing server as well! A great place to go with friends

Prompt service; food was decent, a bit overrated however. Took my daughter to celebrate her 18th bday. Seating was rather cramped and the seating near the windows was very cold. Several patrons including myself had to put on their coats (over the shoulder) to find comfort even after I mentioned it to the staff. I would visit again but when the weathers nicer and possibly outdoor seating as an option.
