Love this place for just about everything. Drinks like the Paper Plane , appetizer Green eggs and ham , and oh yes my favorite is the chicken pot pie the best around made in a cast iron skillet and big. Great for a date or girls night out. 5 stars all the way around. Parking is good also Broadway plaza and then you can do some retail therapy after eating and drinking.

We were seated at a booth and before we sat down the floor was not cleaned, there was food chunks at the end of the table on the floor. I asked the hostess if this can be cleaned up and she said she would do it. Never did. I asked our waitress twice and her reply was I’ll try and get around to it when I’m free. It was never done. It was unpleasant to see leftover food still on the floor. It wasn’t a super busy evening either. It was very disappointing.

Really awesome space and service was outstanding. The food was above average but the desserts were top notch. It was loud and super packed. It was Black Friday though. I would recommend it for sure

Our server was very nice and efficient. The food was very tasty. Two complaints. It took 15 minutes to get a glass of wine after we ordered. The waitress said the bar was backed up. How hard is it to pour a glass of wine? The other complaint is that the noise level was incredible. It was very difficult to converse. I think the restaurant needs to do some sound dampening in the space.
