Reviews
The food is truly gross and the only saving grace is the fresh salad. The alcohol is local and if you want actual good alcohol you have to pay for it.
The staff is rude save maybe two which is surprising given these people work for tips. If I could give a negative rating I would, it was a waste of time and money and we will never return. The entire place needs to be shut down and go through a full mold remediation and remodel.
