    Food was pretty good, our server was quite slow. We moved to the bar afterwards and had a great time. Good happy hour prices.

    Food took forever. Tacos were cold by the time we got them. Staff was very sparse. I made a reservation asking for a quiet corner and the server tried sitting us in the very middle…

    I didn’t catch our servers name, but he was amazing. Very personable, funny, and made great recommendations! 15/10 would go back there and hope he is our server again

    Love the food and the mood of the restaurant. The music is crazy loud though, so if you’re looking to have conversation, this isn’t the place for you.

    Loud! If you want to drink and socialize with lots of people, this is probably a good place to go, but we found it hard to have conversations at our table. The food was alright, we went home full, and the cost was very good. I don’t think this was a bad place, just wasn’t for me.
