Food: Flavorless and stale options

The menu, an exercise in excess, lacks substance. Lettuce wraps and firecracker salmon stand out in an ocean of blandness. Creativity is sacrificed for size, leaving flat pizza and burnt nachos. Freshness wanes as value diminishes; the generous portions are overshadowed by an underwhelming culinary narrative.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions, large enough to share or take home for leftovers.

  • Okay Taste

    Sometimes the food is great and sometimes not so much; mixed experiences overall.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu size is overwhelming, leading to difficulty in decision-making and mediocre options.

Vibe: Crowded chaos and poor views

The ambiance crumbles under dim lighting and persistent noise, eroding any semblance of charm. The outdoor seating, marred by parking lot vistas, shrinks the experience further. With watered-down drinks and disrupted date nights, the false buzz only amplifies the sense of discord in the chaotic setting.

  • Bad For Dates

    Excessive noise and crowded environment hinder privacy and date night experiences.

Perks: Inconsistent service and policies

Patrons contend with a dire absence of perks: challenging parking, long waits due to non-existent reservations, and erratic pet policies plague the visit. Slow, inattentive service and kid-unfriendliness contribute to a frustrating dining experience that rarely lives up to expectations or entices any return visits.

  • Bad For Kids

    Completely UN KID FRIENDLY, lacking expected kid-friendly amenities and experiences.
