On a Tuesday evening, it was quiet--giving us time and space to talk with our friends, which was our goal. On Tuesday, there is also a special deal on appetizers: buy one, get one. We enjoyed our food. We looked over the check, which was just fine, as expected, but when we handed over our credit card, whoever ran the card put a different total on the charge, which we noticed as soon as the card was returned. They fixed it, but it should not have happened. Basically, a good place...

The noise level was moderate because it music bingo night and it was so fun! There was a great crowd. The patio was full with guests. The food, drinks and service are always amazing and on point. One of our favorite spots and you must try the brunch on Sunday.

I believe it has improved over the last couple of years. I don't think we've ever had a bad meal. I would recommend that they change the cushions in the booths. They sink down and your butt hits the wooden frame, very uncomfortable.... and no, I am not overweight. Lol.
