    Horrible experience. Took 30 minutes to get a drink and they absolutely butchered an Old Fashioned. The place wasn’t busy but the bartenders were too busy taking to other workers and the security guard. We left before trying the food.

    Made reservation, still waited over 30 minutes to be sat. They were not busy. When we were sat, the table was dirty. The server was very short tempered and just dry. We ordered 2 appetizers, one with no onions on top. When it came to the table it had onions. I asked the server to take it back because of the onions and she just walked away. Half of the dinners came to the table and then it was almost 45 minutes before the remaining dinners came to the table. The food was ok but the whole experience was bad. This was supposed to be my sons birthday dinner. We ended up taking him somewhere else the next night to make up for it. Will not go back.

    It was during the Christmas parade outside and we ate there before going to Some Like It Hot at the Blumenthal. We had pizza & cheesecake and the food & service were fine! It’s a good place to eat & fun to watch them make the pizzas !

    Attentiveness of staff, from front of house,to wait, leaves a lot to be desired. Food was still good, but first two tables they tried to seat us at weren't clean. Wait staff took forever to come to take our drink order, and then drinks did come for 15 minutes..... they need some help!

    Good service. Food was bland though. The Cajun pasta was the best item we had on the table. All other meal items were unseasoned and bland tasting.
