    The decor is so well done and the restaurant looks amazing! The quality of meat was superb as well. Drinks were tasty and the drink menu was extensive. My one qualm is we had a reservation for 6 guests and we were seated at a large table with another party. Usually they give separate tables or even a divider so it was def a diff experience. They also had private party rooms that weren’t in use for the duration we were there. We ordered 3 diff types of meat and all were so yummy. Give the yukhoe a try. It’s so well presented. And the dwaengjang jiggae was so perfectly seasoned. Overall the food, drinks, and vibes were great!

    We reserved on open table and were promptly seated on arrival. The restaurant is attractive and tables well spaced. Lots of screens immediately identify it's sports bar character, without excess noise. We have modest appetites and split an appetizer and entree, and could not quite finish either. Tasty margaritas complimented the very well prepared and seasoned the Brussel Sprout appetizer. The huge full slab of meaty ribs were perfectly smoked and cooked with a "just right" bit of crispy edges. The side of sweet potato casserole was of generous size and with a hint of seasonings. The cornbread side was our only disappointment. Good appearance and decent texture, but absolutely no flavor. Purr order was taken promptly, and delivery of food and drinks was very quick, perhaps a bit too quick on there entree, which arrived immediately after the entree hurt the table. It got there before the Margarita. During the meal we were asked by all the people dropping off food or drink if everything was good, but after we finished it was quite awhile before our server wandered over to ask about dessert. Prices are a bit high, but are justified by the ambiance, quality and portion sizes. We will return.
