    It was too loud. I couldn’t hear the people at my own table. I made a reservation for 6 people and they reserved a table for 4. We luckily squeezed in an extra chair since we ended up with 5 people. Just too loud- will probably not go back

    It was good but they didn’t give us enough seats for the amount of people in our reservation. We got a reservation for 10 and they reserved an area that could only comfortably fit 7

    Pretty bad service. Maybe it was just a bad day, but while I was there, I ended up reading some recent reviews that said the same. Sad bc the place used to be so great a few years ago. The food was not as good as I remember either.
