    Jalene our waitress was amazing! We visited NYE and the ambiance and music was a vibe. Jalene was very knowledgable about the entire menu, front to back and her pleasant demeanor made us feel so welcomed. Me and my mom will definitely be back!

    This place is very loud. The cocktails we had were way overpriced for what they are. The appetizers were really good but the entrees were way too expensive for the quality of food you get. It’s not bad food, just a $17 plate for $30+. The service was really good. Would come back to only get appetizers and maybe a beer.

    Everything was fantastic. Only in my opinion and that of my family, the music was too loud for a restaurant.

    Service needs to tighten up. Servers were very pleasant but lots of gaps and mistakes.
