    Norah and Cooper deserves the a raise! Gluten free options were available, the bruschetta flatbread was AMAZING! Norah and Cooper kept checking in and were so nice! Atmosphere was super chill, easy to get a seat too. Will definitely be coming back for some fun drinks and food to watch the game!

    Cooper and Danni were really excellent and helpful. They were managing an unexpected short staff situation with excellent attitudes and we never felt the impact thanks to their hustle and teamwork. (Pembroke location).

    I had a pleasant time seated at the bar served by Jessie G. I noticed her job is beyond the bar, picking up food, serving food and seating people as they came in. Also answering the phone. She made it look effortless. Her demeanor was great. Also every other person i saw doing a great job with customers.

    Just wanted to shout out to our waiter Benjamin this past Saturday night who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely friendly, phenomenal with our kids, always checking if we needed more bread, etc., and removing dishes and just all around made the dinner a great experience with 4 kids aged 6 and under. The food was also delicious.
