    Our waitress appeared annoyed that we even showed up. No one explained how the menu/experience worked. The food quality was subpar considering the cost. Would not return.

    Don't expect much for protein they give very little for you to grill. Very nice as far as flavor goes. My opinion not worth the money.

    I’ve been there for lunch and an early dinner and service and food has been flawless. For parties and with kids I wouldn’t do it again.

    I come to this restaurant a lot, but it’s my first time in Ohio as I’m originally from LA. I’m glad to see that the food quality remains the same outside of LA!
