Nice to have different and creative choices on a menu. Not fancy and frilly, but tasty and reasonable. The Irish duo playing and singing was lots of fun, just a bit too loud....as seems to be the standard everywhere.

My friend and I went there for the ornament painting experience and had a great time! The food was okay, I’ll just have to order something different next time but everything is fun and festive. My only suggestion would be to play some Christmas music since it’s Christmas themed.

Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.

We had an amazing time, was even able to be seated earlier than our reservation. Our server was spot on and made us feel valued and special. Took extra time and patience to take photos of us as well.
