    Food was delicious. Casey was an outstanding server. I would suggest you ask for the "Cowboy Room" as it is much quieter than the main room.

    Server did not know what was in a drink when asked and didn’t offer to find out. He suggested another cocktail but also didn’t know or offer to share what was in it when asked. Later I found the ingredients listed on a separate drink menu. He did not show any common courtesy when telling him thank you multiple times, it was met with silence or him walking away. Others ran the food to us, so all he did was take our order, drop drinks, he didn’t know anything about, and then the check.

    This was my wife and I's first time eating here. The food was great and the staff was great. Especially being here so dearly after New Year's. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs, and she made sure our needs were met. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon for breakfast.
