Usually a great place to eat but disappointing this time. Chicken was overcooked and dry..very little honey sauce on it. Had this experience with this dish on before but the next time i i got it it was fabulous. So seems like hit or miss depending on the chef and the day. Drinks were good. Disappointed that they were not serving Prime Rib on Thursdays as advertised. Next time I will call ahead to inquire. Should not have to do so.Getting a bit turned off by the inaccurate advertisement on social media.they need to update.

The food was amazing. But our waitress was fantastic. She made my son’s 21st birthday fun and exciting. The other staff was just as good. Never were our glasses empty and everyone made sure to say happy birthday to my son without being cheesy.

We were in the area to visit The Forest of Lights and found this gem on Open Table. Such a cute restaurant with good food and cocktails. It was a perfect addition to our date night.

All food items were delicious and well-prepared. Entrees were priced as one would expect for a meal of this quality. Kids’ meals, drinks and desserts were overpriced as were regular soft drinks.

Great food but this place is ridiculously expensive. $13 for a draft beer is straight up robbery. The food was great but the portions were incredibly small considering the inflated pricing. Not sure I can afford to go back which is too bad because this place has a lot of potential

Haven't been for a while, food quality and service is not what it previously was. Seated in bar area which was way loud, wouldn't accommodate a change to the quieter side (even though a booth there remain unseated for the duration of our meal).
