    We made a reservation for 7 people. Some of our people were running late but they were friendly and accommodating. Food was good. I recommend the spicy chicken sandwich and the seafood nachos. Both were great. My cocktail was a little small for the price but it was good as well. Atmosphere was nice.

    The chicken tenders were awful. The shrimp and pasta had no flavor. And the price was to high for such poor quality of our ordered items. French fries were good and the waitress was great. The club was good and the blaken chicken Alfredo was fair. Again I don't think I would suggest pasta or chicken anything.

    We sat by the kitchen. The kitchen staff was NOT loud, but the open space between the kitchen and the dining area allows for far too much noise... normal kitchen sounds, but way too loud for a dining experience. If something were to be installed to reduce noise, I think more people would frequent the restaurant. The food was good, though and our server was great. The kitchen manager spoke with us and he was so kind and personable, and his energy was fantastic. The kitchen staff were champs! The one positive of sitting right beside the kitchen was seeing how well they worked together. We even heard one staff member asking if anyone (In the kitchen) needed water or a break.
