I loved the American vibe and the food was great. However the tv volume was too high and it was hard to catch up with friends due to the excessive noise. The air one above us was dripping water as well… so it wasn’t pleasant

The ambience was great and so was the food. The only thing I would do differently next time is request to have standard seating instead of bar stools at a high table. This would be great if it was a option when booking. I would definitely go back again!
