Food was great but service took way too long. We had to ask for our drinks a couple of times and were well into eating when finally received. Desserts were also a long time coming. Also, they weren’t busy either.

It’s not a restaurant. It’s a bar that serves food that is merely OK—edible but forgettable. The interior feels like the kind of bar you find in a chain business hotel, but not a clean. We came for a 7:00 reservation and were told last call for food was in 15 minutes. The fact that a deposit is required to hold a reservation is outrageous.

The food was pretty good, but the service was slow. The loud music was a distraction. Will return though to try different dishes.

Service too slow and wasn’t even crowded! On .25 cents Wing Wednesday U have 2 buy one Alcoholic drink with each order of wings! 😮 What happens if U don’t drink? 🤔 Garlic noodles aren’t as good as they used to be. Even the wings weren’t as good as before as well! I did notice on a Thursday there wasn’t much of a crowd like before, after eating there I most likely won’t return. I will find another Wing Wednesday to go to!
