    I love this place. The atmosphere is great, the food and drinks are great. I used to love going there strictly for steaks but the prices are higher than Burns Steak house. So I just get something else

    Fun place with great wait staff . Music volume was loud enough to hear and enjoy, but not so loud you couldn't hear the person you are trying to talk to. Decor and specialty drinks are what make this place stand out. My table ordered 4 drinks and all were great. The food was also good and comes from "ro" the restaurant next door. Ordered the salmon and loved it. Note: Drinks are on the experience side, so I would definitely go back for a special occasion, but not as one of my routine restaurants that I frequent.
