Servers talking to each other across aisles. Loud music. Staff carrying beer kegs and buckets of ice through dinning room. Not the atmosphere we expected.

This is an exceptional dining venue with a solid mix of environment and great food. Nathan has been my server a couple of times & has delivered in his role as our table host. The menu is diverse yet complimentary, including cocktails. Happy Hour is a must experience as is a later night visit after a show or game. Good show!
