    Due to the fact I went on Valentine’s Day it was super duper packed, I waited pretty long to get seated and waited even longer for the waiter and food. Overall experience was really good. They had live music, amazing food, and amazing vibe to bring your friends and family (don’t recommend kids but they do have a kids menu) I really liked it and I will be trying it again.

    Loved the valentines day experience with my children. So cute! They had special menus, tablecloth, backdrop and flowers and candle on tables. The staff were great as well and our waitress was fantastic. I believe her name was claudette? Such a fun experience!
