    Upon our arrival, we were met by our server, Brianna who was very friendly and courteous. The drinks were creative and tasty! (The bartender under-poured my Mezcal Gingerbread Martini, but was quickly rectified) The meal was fabulous and flavorful (Cowboy Chicken was a bit on the dry side) Love the "Road Trip" theme. Will definitely return for further visits.

    The food… fabulous. The waiter…. Just meh. Was ok at first, but once orders were placed, did not check on our table once. We had empty drinks, and the waiter walked right by. The bus boy was on point with the water, as well as the to go box. Ended up going to the bar after the check was paid to have another drink.

    Once again. Delicious. We went for Brunch on New Years. The food was delicious. The only thing i think i would add, is that there are no items outside of the brunch menu available. It is a limited menu so if you are a picky eater, you may want to check out the menu first. But this place remains a favorite, for sure.
