Love the place every time I go. They need to lower the DJ volume a couple notches instead of keeping it at night club level.

Our server was amazing. The host stand was a 2/5. Not very pleasant and couldn’t be bothered but the server definitely made up for it as we were worried that the start of our experience at the front was setting the tone. Lucky us our server was a 10/10 and the food was delicious!
