Food: Bland, overcooked travesty

The standout dishes, BBQ Beef Ribs and Garlic Rolls, falter under the crushing blow of underwhelming preparation. The flavor abyss extends to the Spinach and Artichoke Dip as well- pleasant enough, but hardly memorable. The meals, in general, disappoint, with instances of bland, flavorless or overcooked dishes surfacing frequently. To top it off, the standard portion size gives you less bang for your buck.

  • Okay Taste

    Decent, consistent food with occasional highs and lows, overall satisfactory.

  • Small Portions

    Food prices increased and portion sizes decreased, not satisfactory.

Vibe: Atmospheric delight with a beat

The redeeming feature of this restaurant is its ambiance. The vibe is warm, comfortable, and enhances the overall dining experience. Wednesday nights are especially popular owing to the appeal of live jazz music. It also becomes a great spot for date nights then offering a blend of privacy, intimacy, and a romantic vibe.

  • Great Ambiance

    Warm, inviting, great vibe, enhances dining experience, and very cozy.

  • Okay Drinks

    Good food and drinks, but some drink options were overpriced.

Perks: Pleasant service soured by kids

While they do have well-arranged seating and parking facilities, the experience it offers comes with a soundproofing flaw that harms the otherwise exceptional service. Kids can scream for hours, without any intervention from staff- which proved a major inconvenience for many patrons.

  • Great Service

    Fast service and attentive staff make for exceptional dining experiences.

  • Okay To Park

    Valet available and street parking possible; opinions on convenience vary.

  • Bad For Kids

    Customers allowed kids to scream for hours, staff did not intervene.
