The service was good and they fixed mistakes once identified. The experience was great with showing Friends and trivia. The chicken and waffle is not as it used to be.

Saturday evening and was very slow. We made reservations but no need. We ate in the main restaurant. Food was okay. Had a fig cocktail which was pretty good. The onion rings were delicious. Service was okay. The boys liked the foosball table, but the ski ball table was out of order. There were multiple tvs with different movies playing. As we left, there was a karaoke room which would have been more fun than the side we were on.

We attended the Morgan Wallen themed brunch, however, the entire event seemed disorganized. From the time of our arrival at 11am, it seemed they were not prepared for the event. Also, I'm not sure why it was deemed a Morgan Wallen theme because there was minimal reference to him. The waitresses weren't even aware of a themed drink for the event, there was no decor related to him or his music(except for the event's name projected) and even the music scarcely related to him. Fortunately, the event itself did not cost so I suppose I should be thankful for that.
