   The food wasn’t gooos, the deep dish pizza tasted like it had been shipped in frozen and warmed up. The crust had a layer of fat like an oil or butter that was totally unnecessary. We had some vegans in our group and the food wasn’t vegan friendly. If the taste improved we would be back

   The food was excellent. Everyone in my group lived their choices. Our server was very friendly and brought our food in timely manner. We all had a great experience.

   Worth a Visit, But Be Prepared for the Wait! DEFINITELY make a reservation—especially if you’re going Friday through Sunday! Even with a reservation for two, we still had about a 15-minute wait, while walk-ins were looking at a 1.5-hour wait. The place gets super busy, and the service could use some improvement—maybe they just need more staff to keep up. Our server was friendly, but they forgot our order twice and had to double-check, which was a little frustrating. That said, the food was solid and came out quickly (despite a little issue with our dessert order), with plenty of variety, and the drinks were great. Overall, a good experience, but expect some hiccups if you’re going during peak hours!

   Coming in it was incredibly busy, the staff walked around with little pieces of pizza which was amazing as we have a toddler. After we sat they brought our toddler gold fish and fruit which was amazing. The staff was warm and welcoming Steak was really tough and ribs were really dry, wouldn’t recommend it at all Salmon was excellent, pizza was excellent We would return for another night

   The restaurant is not actually taking reservations via Open Table. When we got there they told us it is actually a place in line and we had a one hour wait. You may want to take them out of your service because not actual reservations.

   10 of us went for dinner. Our table was ready when we got there. We had great food, drinks and dessert. Our server was very nice and friendly. Our only complaint was we would go long times without seeing him. The service was very slow. We ended up being there for three hours! normally I would find that annoying, but we were really enjoying our time together, so we weren’t upset.

   My Fiancee and I had dinner there just after getting engaged. The Manager gave us a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. This was special. Appreciated the king service.
