Food was good but when asked for a specific item added to entree and were told it would be at a much higher price, it was not. They did rectify and not charge but very disappointing.

Great birthday dinner! It was noisy but not so bad that we couldn't hear each other. They were out of several things we wanted, so that was disappointing. Overall the food was very good as was the service.
