I thought this was like a Hard Rock or another touristy expensive restaurant with average food but it’s actually great. Our server Adam provided perfect friendly service and advice. Perfect professional waiter IMO. Food was good. Happy hour beers were delicious. Our Wednesday burgers specials were delicious. The decor is awesome everywhere you look too!
