“We were in Ohio for a wedding and stopped here for dinner. There was a 45 minute wait but after a quick look inside, we decided that it was worth checking out. We were very glad we waited, the appetizers were incredible and the burgers were perfect. I love bourbon and was impressed at their selection. If we are ever back in Ohio, we will definitely be back.“

“I made an online reservation. I noted it was my anniversary when making the reservation. I had to call and change the reservation and they accommodated me without any problem! When we arrived they had a special reserved table for my wife and I! They had an amazing note on the table that made my wife and I so happy! We had amazing service and amazing food! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a great experience. We had the Ahi tuna tacos and blt tacos . They even gifted us a delicious crème brûlée cheese cake as a special dessert on our anniversary.“

“We were staying at the delta hotel and swung by this restaurant. Delania was the kindest sweetest hostess we could have asked for. She went out of her way to ensure we were well taken care of, checked in on the quality of food, and always made sure our drinks were good. Service like this makes you coming back! Thank you Delania!“

“Thank You to the whole staff for helping pull off an epic surprise party!“

“the fact they give 1 min to respond to their wait-list before kicking you off is insane. we literally got on the waitlist, the lady said just let us know if you choose somewhere else so we can cancel it. clearly we didn't cancel it and we were waiting... we pressed 1 to confirm but apparently did not make it in their 1 min countdown so they kicked us off... also they have ZERO red wine“

“Atmosphere terrific, we sat outdoors, food awesome, staff fabulous, Kendra was awesome, just didn't care for the smoking on the patio, right after we got our food. It was like eating from an ash tray.“

“Our server Carson did a great job!
Only thing could have been better is that though our Fahitas were served on a sizzling platter, they weren't esp hot, making me think they were precooked and put on the platter just before serving. Didn't mention it, since I used a groupon. Will come back during happy hour some evening.“
