    Great experience! Conversation starter cards on the table were great for breaking the ice! Salmon was great. Lamb Chops were pretty fatty. Drinks were delicious! Live music was amazing. Very loud. Parking and valet nearby. Dress to impress.

    I was from out of State… made reservations that weren’t kept with a long wait and no accommodations. Very disappointed to have traveled and no follow up

    Chemistry was absolutely amazing! Aside from the logistic issues at the beginning of our reservation trying to get seated (we waited nearly an hour), the food was so great. They just need a stronger person handling the checkin and reservations. The tomahawk was soooo tender like velvet. Best one I’ve had in my life!

    I made reservations for 2 they did not have any seats available at the time of my reservation the man told me that I would have to wait 45 minutes to an hour on a table they do not go by the rules on they website at all. He also tried to give me a small lil table in the corner that was not even big enough to fit me and my husband food on the table together.

    I’ve been here twice…. First time it was my birthday the whole experience was a 10/10, Service was excellent, music, etc. I had lamb chops/Mac & they were so good. I went here on 12/23/24 the service wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t good either. I stated online in the comments that it was my bf birthday, didn’t get a birthday menu. Didn’t get the “table smoke” this time, didn’t get the cards that come on your table (when most younger content creators come for the aesthetic besides the food) didn’t get asked do we want to order drinks I almost forgot to get one! Speed up.. Everybody at my table had gotten they food atleast 10/15 minutes before me and the waiter had to ask me “what I order again”.. I ordered the same thing as the person across from me… The waiter was really nice he just seemed to be in a rush. It was busy but still. Slow Down. The vibes were there music is good, the band was okay to us I prefer the regular music it’s not worth the 5% live entertainment fee tbh. Overall it’s a cool restaurant with a nice staff, cool vibe and great food!
