My husband and I made a 7:15pm reservation, of which we arrived early for; however, we were not called up until closer to 7:30pm. Staff was super friendly, but the bartenders were making low-end liquor substitutes to drinks claiming they changed it, but the menu wasn’t updated. I requested a remake to reflect what the menu advertised. If you use lower quality liquor then the price should be lower. I’m not okay with paying high-end prices for low-end products.
