    We really wanted to enjoy our dinner on Christmas day, because we really liked the place. Let's start from our server who was pretty cool and fun and we have no complaints for him. We ordered the Sound burger, stating that it is steak burger, we were hoping for beef but it had a taste of lamb, like it was mixed. For a person that does not eat lamb, I didn't eat my pretty pricy food. Ceasars salad was fine I guess, needed dressing though. Drinks were good. I really dislike the tipping policy they have. Just make sure you bring cash if you visit. We will not come back again for food, maybe for some drinks.

    Atmosfera accogliente, personale gentilissimo. Ai bimbi hanno fato un set per intrattenerli (matite e disegni). Non caotico e molto arioso. Molto consigliato 🎄

    Food was just okay but, our server wasn’t around very much. He took our order for drinks and then came back to put order in for food. Once we were finished we waved him down for our check to pay. He said he would be back and then we never saw him again. We eventually flagged one of the other servers to get our check so we could pay and leave.
