Went in to watch the game at their bar, which was empty. The restaurant was not busy and I just wanted to watch the game at the bar with some apps and drinks. I sat there for nearly the entire 3rd quarter on 9/4/2025 and nobody even acknowledged me. The hostess sat me and brought me an appetizer plate and said the bartender was Josue... nobody ever showed up. I walked out and went to a different restaurant. Thanks for nothing CPK!

I thought the food here was pretty decent. I walked in around 5pm on Monday when I walked in place was mostly empty. I looked around everyone looked like they’re just waiting on their food for the most part.
I came with my 4 year old immediately got served drinks. It took the waitress over 15 minutes to come back to take our order and I was STARVING. Didn’t even have bread yet to hold myself til the waitress came back. She had a big table about 14 people and was being very attentive to them. While I was waiting.. she NEVER CAME BACK. Eventually I asked another waiter his name was Aaron if he can take my order and he did AMAZING. He didn’t even have to check on us after but did. Made sure we had bread and were very great and understanding after I apologized. I was just very hungry.
The waitress that was supposed to tend to us she has straight reddish hair in a pony tail with big glasses. She seemed like she was “busy.” She barely came to our table seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Checked on us once after I asked if someone can take my order. Didn’t even stop. Continued to walk past me while she asked if I was good. Very rushed when handling my table. I didn’t appreciate it.
I don’t know if kids drinks could get refilled but didn’t even bother to refill my son’s drink.
Aaron checked on us, got us cheese and was so patient. I really liked his service. Especially serving a table that wasn’t his. GREAT JOB.

I went for my birthday with my parents and some of my siblings. The servers were extremely sweet, and the place was beautifully decorated. The main thing was the pizza, and I bought a Hawaiian pizza. The pineapple was extremely thick, and it seemed like it wasn’t even cut. The ham was really chewy, and it seemed like it was from a can. My brothers got mushrooms, and the mushrooms for them were also not cut. They were like just mini full mushrooms. The crust was very thin as well. The food was really expensive too. Overall, this place was a solid 3/5. The food was honestly not the greatest, but the experience of it was pretty enjoyable.

We had the lunch special. I got the Thai Pizza and the crunch Thai salad. Wonderful, so good. They had some good happy hour offerings that the server didn't mention. Also, we had to wait forever to get a box to go and for our bill. The restaurant was not crowded. It was fairly empty, actually.

Loved the happy hour drinks, dumplings and Mexican corn. The Bolognese spaghetti had hardly any beef so probably would not get that again. The steak salad was ok (didn't like the potatoes or the tomatoes). The butter cake flight was meh, sadly the maple bacon one was the most disappointing. Thanks to Alejandro for making our first visit great with his attentiveness. Overall, would return.
