Service was good, but the food was far below expectations. We got nachos, & ut was small & only 20% of the cheese was melted, it was all just cold cheese below. 3/10 , then I had the burger, with bacon. It gad a single, tiny, thin bit if bacon. I do celebrate the fact this minicual bit of bacon was likly removed from the pig with out any effect on it's health & it is still living a long & healthy life.

The experience overall was okay. Enjoyed the atmosphere. The timing was great for a reservation of a large group while we could see other large groups & small tables to make a full dining room. The servers were very friendly & attentive. The food was hit or miss. If the food was good, it was amazing (beer coated fries, shrimp appetizer...). If the food was bad, it was terrible (the steak was cold & half of it was fat to cut off if you dont enjoy, the nachos were stacked tall but everything under the first layer was bare...). The price for the experience was a bit much & I would not recommend coming here for supper. However, I would definitely recommend & return to have some drinks as their beer & cocktail menu are on point, & grab some snacks/appetizers.
