    Very noisy and lots of people. Service was almost too good! Seemed rushed - wanted to get you feed and out. Cornbread was very good. New York steak was tough thin and like a really cheap steak from a grocery store, pot pie was just chicken soup with a pice of pastry crust on top in a bowl. Banana cream pie looked nice but somehow not very tasty. Okay - but noisy and rushed for average food. If you’re in a hurry it is perfect. Should have ordered the burger that went by with a waiter.

    Our server was Adrian and he was awesome. Very attentive very nice and made sure we always had something to drink and brought our food out pretty quickly. We came here for the inauguration so we made reservations to make sure we had a spot. My party ended up getting to the restaurant early, but we were not seated at the table until our reservation time so we did sit at the bar.
