    We got our apps before drinks. Oysters Rockefeller had absolutely no flavor I’ve had better Spinach dip at chilis or fridays I feel like if I’m paying 20$ for a drink I’d really love for it to taste like a 20$ drink and not a mock tail. We listed on open table and told our server after being asked if we were celebrating anything that we had TWO birthdays and nothing was done special no dessert nothing. Which is fine but why ask on the reservation and verbally if you aren’t going to use it as an opportunity to make our night special ? Server seemed to lack basic menu knowledge. I asked if the smoke and spice drink was actually smoked and he said yes but it wasn’t ….. I feel like i only paid for the ambiance. I was underwhelmed.

    Spare rib had almost no meat. Street Corn Pasta was great. Probably better experience with different meals.

    Jake was excellent. He was knowledgeable about the menu and was attentive without being overbearing. There were a wide variety of menu choices, and our food was excellent.

    Good food and atmosphere. They could have been short staffed, but we had drinks forgotten and orders skipped.

    I had Jake as my server and when I tell you he freaking DELIVERED! Like seriously I was celebrating my birthday with my bestfriend and he knew the vibes to give/bring. He recommended an amazingly delicious drink and he helped us sing happy birthday. I felt like I knew him all my life! I will always request him whenever I come back he made my birthday 10/10! 🫶🏽

    Food average. Found hair in one of the appetizers. Mains were ok but overwhelming with garlic.
