    Way too noisy. Could not hear each other. Service was very slow and wrong orders for two people.

    We made the last-minute reservation. The restaurant was able to accommodate us. The service was excellent. Because we sat in the bar section. It was a little bit loud, but also very fun. The added bonus is that they had the Dodgers game on and we were able to watch it.

    We had the fish & chips, about $22. It was three small pieces of fish, lukewarm, and 75% of the plate was french fries. Would not order that again.

    Pork sliders and sweet potato fries awesome. Cobb salad lettuce a little wilted or maybe a little pricey for the amount and quality
