- KGKris GeorghiouJan 3, 20261.0Had a reservation for 8pm was seated and sat around for 20 minutes for our waitress. No one showed up to even take our drink order. They had empty tables, with two employees chatting while cleaning one table, while other tables were dirty and piled with dishes. Promptly left and went to State & Main, currently have a drink and placed my order. Much better service around the corner.
- KLKim LawsonDec 31, 20255.0Attended the kid friendly New Years Eve event today. We were also there for the Halloween event earlier this year. Service was fantastic and the atmosphere and event for families was very well done. The early countdown, ballon drop and decorations were fantastic. It was great to also see the staff in the spirit and they seemed to be enjoying the event as well. Face painting was a hit.
- JSJill SpeedDec 31, 20255.0Had a great NYE experience with family! Our server, Andrew, was wonderful. Food was great and plentiful! The kids and grandma loved the cotton candy garnish on the drinks!
- CKChris KDec 31, 20255.0The experience here was fantastic! We were here on new years and we got things like champagne, necklaces, balloons, and face paint. They even gave everyone cotton candy and ice cream. All of the staff (especially our server Andrew) were so nice and the food was delicious! This was one of the best and most enjoyable restaurants I have been to!
- TATrevor ArmstrongDec 31, 20254.0It was fun overall, resturant was nice and busy, but not crazy. Food could've and should've been better. Most people at the table found the dish we got to be way to dry for a pasta dish. Server was very friendly
