    We came here tonight because we wanted to have dinner and watch the Warriors game. We got the booth at the end and ordered our food and then we were told that since a bunch of the TVs are hooked together, they couldn’t change it from the college football game that somebody else asks to see before we did. Our server moved us to the back room, which was very sweet, but the TV was way too small to be able to see.. The food and service were all excellent . It would be great if they could figure out a way to separate the TVs so that guests could choose to change the channel and not be controlled by one set of guests.
