The music was way too loud. The Live DJ should have read the room better and played softer music so the three tables of people could enjoy their food and hear their guests sitting across from them. Instead it was loud beat of club music you’d hear on New Year’s Eve at midnight blasting throughout the restaurant. Geesh!

For this being my first review. You know things had to go south quickly. Took my dad out here for Father’s Day dinner. Was seated quickly since it was not busy at all only about 6 other tables were there. After the host sat us down the chips and water came quickly. Then suddenly it was like we were quarantined. Mind you there were three or four serves and tables were leaving so it was dead. Over 15 mins before I had to reach out to the host to ask if we can get a server because we were ready for drinks and appetizers. He apologized and took him a few more mins to find someone. Once we got our server things seem to level out for the most part. Then once our dinner came. Once again more problems. Only one of the three kids meals came out and then it took 10ish mins for everyone else’s plates to come. They forgot one child’s plate (3kids 3 adults) all together. And some side for my dad. They made the missing kids dinner to go and said on the house, to which I would hope because I had originally said just cancel it since we were all done and he never got it. Took over 15 mins to get the bill. Saw the server at the bar laughing with his coworkers instead during that time period. Overall. Terrible service for how dead it was. Food was brought out above room temperature clearly just sitting. And no apology or acknowledgement for how terrible everything was. The host on the beginning was the only one who in the beginning snd end seemed to care about us. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
