    Excellent food and service! We sat in one of the interior booths, and it was private and intimate. Also very reasonably priced. We were even served by Renee - who gave us recommendations. Definitely would recommend!

    Everything came out in a timely manner, my mom and I got our drinks at the same time and it was really nice. They didn’t have the original dish that I had ordered but I was suggested a few different options and I went with the fired chicken which I had before and the manager took care of the mixup. I love coming here with my family just know when you go in the evening hours there may be some live music which definitely adds to the noise. But everything is always so good!

    Great food and drink. A little loud for our liking, but that’s our only complaint. Super service and according to my eleven year old, the best chicken tenders he’s ever eaten.
