Food was perfectly cooked. Came to the table hot. I always add broccoli because it’s one of the few restaurants who cooks it to perfection. Server, Katherine, was so sweet and attentive.

We were holding a 90's themed pop-up event during the month of August. It was very fun for us, but are back to our normal sports decor now!
