We arrived early for our reservation and they were so accommodating. We were seated immediately and were greeted by our server. The service was excellent. The menu is amazing. Do many different entree's that fit any taste. Drinks were inventive and tasty. I was also informed they have an interesting happy hour which I am excited to partake. I highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion!

Fantastic service. I struggle with hearing and we got sat near a very loud group and couldn’t hear my spouse. Staff quickly and happily got us to a quieter location even though it was very busy. Food and service were both fantastic.

Service was amazing! The bartenders really know how to make a delicious cocktail! And they were very friendly and helpful! And the food was outstanding! I've never enjoyed a better braised cabbage! My husbands pork chop was perfectly cooked without being dry. Tried to order as many different drinks as I possibly could drink, they were so good. But they were strong as well, so I was happy with a couple. We sat at the bar on the outside of the restaurant, as all of the outside tables were taken. It was still very nice. The decor is lovely and vibrant and worth experiencing. The only negative for this restaurant is the parking. It was difficult finding a spot. That won't keep us from coming back. Best date night ever!

    Our server was great and attentive! She brought me a birthday treat without anyone asking, so naturally, it prompted everyone to sing happy birthday to me❤️ The ambience and themed camp like experience was memorable. Everything we ate was delicious. We got the muffins, beet salad, elotes, and truffle fries. I ordered the salmon with mango salsa, hubby got the pork chops, kids got chicken tenders and burger…everything was fantastic! It was a fun time!
