   We found a wonderful new pre theatre dinner place here. The burgers and chicken sandwich were delicious. The service was excellent and our server was beyond attentive and entertaining! We will absolutely return!

   The food and staff were phenomenal. They were extremely nice and accommodating. They even put the game on we requested and the whole staff was invested in our game. The atmosphere was so fun.

   Awful! Microscopic portions for $$$$. Insulting as a local to try this place. Even tourists aren’t dumb enough to go here. It will fail miserably.

   The service that we received was outstanding. Very kind, friendly, and fun staff. Unfortunately they were either poorly organized or severely understaffed, as service and food delivery times just took a very long time. Feels like a good spot for a casual drink and snack at the bar, but I wouldn't recommend a traditional dining experience.

   Thank you for your honest review, Brian. We really appreciate your kind words about our staff. We know we fell short during your visit, and we’re genuinely sorry for the delays and any stress it caused. While we’re doing everything we can to make sure our team delivers the best experience, there are times when we just wish we had more hands on deck. We’re working on resolving our staffing challenges, and we truly hope you’ll give us another chance to make things right. Thanks again for your understanding, and we’re really sorry once more.

   We made a reservation ahead of time for 6 people and we went to cash out, it automatically charged us a 20% tip. First, no where on their website said they would charge service tax for a party of 6 (usually it’s a party of 8 or more) and second we would not have given that much of a tip because the service was TERRIBLE. Our waitress never came to our table and when we would try to get her attention she would ignore us. We also asked other workers to get her for us, but they didn’t. The food is okay, but I got the caesar chicken wrap and there was no dressing. Just my experience, but beware.

   Hi Marisa, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear the service didn’t meet expectations. The automatic service charge is typically applied for parties of 6 or more, but we understand it wasn’t clear on the website, and we’ll make sure to improve that. We also apologize for the issues with your server and the Caesar chicken wrap. We’ll be looking into this to make sure it doesn’t happen again. We’d appreciate the chance to do better next time, so feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to give us another shot.

    Food was good but server had way too many tables, took our order, brought drinks (1) and did not see her again until I grabbed her to get our check.
