    Food was delicious! Definitely try the Corn Ribs appetizer - 10/10. Service was great. Just some small “nit-picks”. Sat outside because the weather was nice, but mainly chose to do so because it was freezing inside the restaurant. The tablecloth was very wrinkly and flies were bothering us (fly fans needed?) Also the patio is missing some decor (maybe greenery?). Surprised that there were only 6 tables occupied on a Saturday night …..

    Great special night. Menu is limited, but if it satisfies you, this is the place. Smelled a little smokey from the casino below, but not noticeable after a while.

    We were very disappointed. The waitresses looked stressed and could not handle the number of customers. The food took a long time to get. The steak was not cooked as ordered.
