    Dinner with friends at 6pm on a Saturday in the covered patio area. Service was OK but one salad arrived without dressing. Food generally was good, but the noise level went up and up until it was nearly impossible to talk or hear. The venue would be helped by the installation of some soft materials, maybe hung from the ceiling. Inside areas are probably even louder.

    I’ve been here once before and really liked it- today was a different story. Service was just so so, 3 different waitresses! Slow to get my drink. Food was just ok. Pretzels were large but lacked taste and the cheese was yucky. We split a quesadilla which I didn’t care for.

    There were four of us for dinner this evening. Only one person had a good meal. The hamburger. The chicken parmigiana sandwich was overcooked. The restaurant even comped it as it was not good. The two tacos were so so. The shells were somewhat stale. The chicken taco was simply grilled chicken and shredded lettuce. There were two sauces you could add yourself. Was disappointed as we were there with out of town guests. The service was good.

    We were able to get a group of 6 in for Sunday lunch which would be the main reason we chose to eat here.

    Had a big group and they did pretty well with service. Food was good. A few spicy things. Luckily we like that.

    It was our first time here and it was excellent! We can’t wait to go back and try other items on the menu. Huge portion sizes too!

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was salt fun! The service could have been better, but wasn’t horrible. We checked out the Speakeasy and enjoyed it! What a cool addition to the restaurant.
