    It’s a great location and the ambiance is fantastic. But the service was incredibly slow and the food was mediocre. It’s defiantly somewhere you go for the vibe not the food.

    Good and service were great! Live music was really good too but turned up too loud and was hard to chat with dinner guests. Napkins were dirty but otherwise everything was pretty clean.
