Food is average good.The time we were there it was busy (4 pm Sunday) Maybe that was the reason the service was not as good as we expected. 2 of our orders were incomplete and then charged as completed. It got fixed because we saw it in time.The fact that one person takes the orders and others serve them creates confusion. They got mixed up.The place goes from pleasant to noisy with the music on the speakers, people trying to talk, TVs on. And then live music on top of all that.That I would see it after 9 pm with different crowds not families with kids at dinner time.Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian section on the menu and it is not big. So you have to be creative with the entire menu.

NOT a good place for brunch. The food was ok but not great. I have been there for dinner and the food is much better. NOT recommended for large parties either as the waiter refused to split a large bill in 2 seperate tabs creating an uncomfortable situation for our table. Overall NOT a great experience.

Everything was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Drinks took awhile and my friend whose birthday it was never got her second drink. And when it was time to pay I wanted to leave a little early so I had the waiter split my bill plus the birthday girl's drink and he ended up charging me the remainder on my card which was $130 instead of the $68 eventually we put everything on my card and had two transactions on my card instead of voiding it and having that amount pinned on my bank account. For what it's worth if this happens to you especially if you go in a large party remember that it is best to just zelle each other then void the transaction and have multiple pending transactions on your bank account. I was a little disappointed that all the waiter wanted to offer was to void the whole thing because as a server myself I know that this causes multiple pending transactions. So from both the customers point of view and the servers to make your life easier and theirs remember that nobody's perfect and mistakes can be made and if you can take the initiative to lead your group so that the money isn't lost in cyberspace so that not only the bill gets paid but everybody feels like they put a fair amount in then your experience will be a good one even if it seems like it's going south. So in conclusion I ended up staying a little bit longer than I wanted to but I felt like this was an experience that had to be shared and I hope this is helpful for people in the future.
