    I’ve been here before and I have always had a pretty good experience. This time was disappointing. It was my daughter’s 21st birthday dinner. Our waitress was nice. She came over pretty quickly when we got seated. After that everything took forever. 20-30 minutes to get our first beers…yes just beer. 45 minutes to an hour to get our food and it wasn’t even hot. I will go back for another shot at some point. Hopefully it’s better.

    This place always pleasantly surprises me. I typically do not like chain restaurants but this one is growing on me. The service is consistent and top notch. The food is creative and prepared well. It is a large space so noise levels and ambiance can vary but it has never been bothersome. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
