    The first time I was here, I was really impressed. It was right around when they opened and the food was phenomenal. The second time I came for my birthday. The food wasn’t as good. As a birthday dessert, they served whip cream with graham crackers crumbled up on the bottom. That’s all it was. It was super odd. I’m glad that was free.

    Second time here and will likely go again. The first time it was a party of two and the next time with a group. Food, service, value all great but the noise level was more than energetic on both occasions, it’s just loud to the point you continue asking your server to repeat themselves. They need to beef up the ceiling with more acoustic panels. Something to consider if you are going with more than two top.
