    Christmas decorations were lovely, the waitress was great and interactive, and the service was fine. However, the noise level was so loud you had to yell to the person next to you. There was a singer, and the only time the meal was pleasant was when he took a break and we could actually hear each other.

    I really liked this restaurant. It is a cozy place, with a nice location and very easy parking. My mixed grill was very good. The service was very prompt and attentive. I hope to come back.

    My “handheld” couldn’t be held in my hand. It was a mess. The fries were not cooked- very oily. The Christmas lights were annoying, flashing on and off. Not impressed.

    This place is definitely a neighborhood gem - the ambiance is amazing. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, they have live entertainment, which did not disappoint. The food was very good, and our server was amazing.

    Service was outstanding. Menu seemed more limited than I recall from past visits. Noise level made conversation challenging at times.

    Overall experience was ok. Blood stains on my napkin to start the evening wasn’t a good beginning. Server blew it off as no big deal. Food was good but not great. Give it a 7 out of 10. They did recognize our anniversary, huge plus !!
