quite loud, but amazing food. Service is spotty, and didn't come back to table often so order all you want when they first come by

I really appreciated the staff for accommodating my large group, especially with a last minute addition of 4 people. The drinks were good and strong. The food is always delicious. They let us party until we were the last to leave, and they were gracious about it. We had a great time! Thank you!

Food was amazing. However despite making a reservation weeks prior with a later reservation time they didn't have a table for us and we ate at a high top instead. Disappointing. However the host did apologize and the food more than made up for it
