    It was ok. We had a group of 12 on a Sun night. The kids enjoyed it… our server wasn’t very attentive so it always takes a couple tries to hunt him down. Maybe they’re under staffed. Food was just soso.

    The server must have been overloaded because it took forever for her to come back for anything. The food was good. The bread was on the hard side. Really it was just the service that made this a bad experience. It’s can be very pricey eating here so it would have been helpful to have more attentive service. I didn’t even get my water refilled. The wine deal was great.

    The food was either overcooked or tasteless. Even the pizza which was one of our favorites was far from their standard. The service was very poor, like they wanted to go home. It almost ruined our birthday celebration. Won't go back
