I was a little disappointed with the cut back of their menu. This was a great place when they first opened but now not so much. The servers don’t wear the uniforms to give you the whole feel for the place.

We had a man who was clearly intoxicated come up to our table 3 times. The first time we were polite and waited until he left. The second he came back with a friend and again we were polite until he left. Both times we gave short answers and did not really interact. The third time he came alone and sat down at the one empty chair at our table. We all just tried to ignore him when our server came over and recognized we were uncomfortable. He asked the man if he needed anything and when he walked away, I could tell he was going to get a manager to handle the situation. Before management came back, he grabbed my friend under the table so I ended up yelling at him to leave and made a scene because why should I care if I am rude to a stranger who has no respect for anyone else. But the manager, our server, and one other worker came by as this was happening. They made sure we were ok and also made sure that someone walked us to our car when we were finished eating. The man and his friends stayed at the bar and kept starting at us throughout the night, but the manager himself and our server escorted us from our table to the front door and then to our car. I've worked in food since I was 16, and I appreciate how they recognized there was a situation without us verbalizing it and taking the necessary steps. I cannot remember our waiter's name unfortunately, but he did a wonderful job reading and addressing the situation. And the food and drinks were great!
