Food is good. Service is spotty.

Update: the remodel did open up the space on the left a little, but it's louder than ever. It's a great place to eat with family you don't get along with because you'll never hear what they're saying even if you're sitting next to them.

Vegetarian options: They do have about 4 entrées that don't contain meat.
