“You walk in feeling like dance. This place gives off those kind of vibes. Really nice looking restaurant. It has that upbeat feel to it. The woman's room is nicely lit and very clean. Our waitress was on top of everything. We were only drinking sodas and yet she kept them filled for us. She checked in on us quite a few times. The food was superb. Everything came out exactly as ordered. The flavor was there in every bite. I wanted dessert, I had no room for it. I did not have the space for it. We totally enjoyed ourselves. It was a great night with great food and a fabulous server.“

“I recently visited this restaurant twice, and both experiences were outstanding! ?The first time, my friend and I were served by Alex, who was incredibly friendly and attentive. She took great care to explain the menu, especially since my friend has a peanut allergy, ensuring our selections were safe.

I enjoyed my time so much that I returned on my birthday with another friend. Making reservations was easy, and April, thoughtfully suggested menu items based on our preferences.✨

The food was just as delicious as I remembered. Our salads crispy and that chicken so juicy, and my friend's dinner special was perfectly seasoned. We savored each bite in blissful silence. ?For dessert, I indulged in a warm chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. My absolute favorite as a chocolate lover!

The atmosphere was fantastic, and I can't wait to return with more friends. Highly recommend!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food is good. The owners are nice but inflation ruined this restaurant. The Midnight sampler they had was $15 when I first went there. The burger combos were around $11-13. Now the sampler is $27 and the burgers w/ fries are $16. There should be no reason a sandwich (cheesesteak) is $16 and it doesn't come with fries on the side. A plain pizza for $23 is INSANE!! If they lower their prices, this would be a better place to eat at consistently like it was a few years ago.“

“I couldn’t believe how great the food was. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. In addition the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew In Hackensack NJ was such a delight. He totally paid attention to my nut allergy and had the manager bring my meal out to ensure it was nut free. We are definitely going back! 😃“

“Very fun place, food was great & the drinks were awesome! Plus they have an outdoor area which was really cool...

Parking: The parking was horrible, during the day you have to try & find a spot & pay meter but after 6pm you still have to find parking but you don't have to pay meter.“
