    My husband and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today. We got there around noon and was warmly greeted by staff and brought to our table. We ordered drinks and both had the turkey dinner. Every part of it was delicious and the portion was enough for another meal tomorrow. Our waiter Jared was attentive and friendly as was everyone helping with serving and clearing our table. Glad we made a reservation at Cast Iron Chef for Thanksgiving.

    My friend & I visited MINT last weekend to celebrate her birthday and it was such a good vibe. Especially being from Connecticut it was nice to be in a different area with a different vibe. The DJ was on POINT & the food was a 10/10 for sure. I ordered the jerk shrimp tacos which were so good & my friend ordered the salmon sliders which she said were also very good. We ordered a hookah which was really good as well. Overall great place for a night out or birthday celebration! I would go again for sure!
