We had a great meal and Jeff was a great server! My son said he had “hype energy” and that’s absolutely true. The size of the menu always amazes me and the quality does not suffer for it.

Absolutely amazing. Best service, we were seated as soon as we walked in. Jeff was the best very friendly and asked for our names to be on a first named basis with us. It was a great first time experience we will definitely be going again.

This was a quick "get it before they closed" kind of deal. We had takeout which isn't always the best way to try a new place. The restaurant is beautiful with dark wood tables and the name accenting the wood. Famous people have a place along the wall as a gorgeous motif. Very old school which I love.
However, they were said to have great burgers and they do! Unfortunately, the Man got extra sauce with the General Tso’s Chicken that got punctured by the containers stacked on top of it. He didn't have enough sauce for his meal and was not pleased which means I wasn't pleased. My burger lived up to the hype but was soured due to unfortunate packing.

I celebrated my birthday and engagement with friends. It was a surprise to me and my friends had brought cakes to be served. Our server was Jeff and he remembered everyone's name at the table and called each of us by name every time he stopped by to check on us, which was often. All the staff wa s very accommodating and helped with the cake and champagne 🍾 The food was great and came out quickly. We had a great time and Jeff along with the rest of the staff helped make that possible.

This was our first time here, and it won’t be our last. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Our server, Kerri Ann, was friendly and attentive. We had the potstickers, orange beef, and the sesame chicken. All the dishes were great plus we took leftovers home. My husband and I each had an Old Fashion, and it was made very well. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.
