First off, I tip based off service. This place lacks customers service but says on the menu 18% gratuityis added if you don’t tip at least that. Why am I going to tip when it takes you 10 minutes to even come get a drink order, you never come back, you are honestly rude and not nice with zero personality. Yea you have your bar regulars that will tip you and tell you you are the best. The 6 people sat next to us and 2 behind us will all tell you how bad it was! We all said the same thing to each other we will never be back! Service is horrible. Appetizers are all over priced and the sampler appetizer is a joke for what you get for $20.00 you can go anywhere else and get better apps way cheaper. The only reason you have to put a message on your menu about tipping is because of how awful your servers are!!! Good servers would most of time make great money yes an occasional person would screw them but overall would make bank. Issue here is you either need to add one more on or get some that aren’t acting like they are all high and mighty and thinking they are the shit when they actually suck at there job.

Chicken breast and baked beans are crazy good. That’s what I’d recommend eating here.
