   We had fantastic night celebrating Beth 50th birthday together with my Cosmax Fragrance team. Food is great and love it there is live music. Gass the owner give us complimentary free shots of drinks. Service was excellent. We definitely come back again.💖🤩🥰

   We always enjoy a night at 81. We love the staff, the service, the food and the music/bands.

   Weather was perfect for we opted for outdoor seating! Food and service always great here! Was a vibe, we had a great night always do. Would be great if a speaker could be out side so you can hear the live music. But when I booked I chose to sacrifice the music for the outdoor seating

   Food was delicious, steak cooked to protection We chose to sit outside as it was such a lovely night, this was a mistake, road noise made it hard to talk and to top it off table behind us was a table of loud foul mouthed guys This is no reflection on the restaurant as we have been here many time and will return just wont sit outside

    It is the ideal venue for us to meet and dine every 6 months. Food and the service was very good. To day of course very quiet and we enjoyed the stay there.
