    We had a group of 4. My husband was very disappointed in his cheese burger and fries which is his go to no matter where we eat. He had the same order at the Deerfield location and it was great. But at the Rookwood location the burger was undercooked and greasy and the fries seemed like they were reheated. He was very disappointed.

    We were looking for a new place for our small group to meet. It allows us to not have to be super quiet and the ambiance is great

    All was good but I had to send my Bloody Mary back because it was all ice. I asked to have a new one made and was told it would be made the same way. Disappointing

    Our reservation for 10 was at 7pm and we arrived about 25 minutes early, but the staff was ready and we were seated right away. Our waiter was extremely attentive and very professional. The food options are diverse and not your normal menu items, which we liked. The food itself.. delicious. We’ll definitely be back 👌🏻

    Don’t sit in a booth. The springs were shot in the cushions. I’m 5 ft 6in and I felt like a child who needed a phone book to sit on. The seats were so low, it made eating uncomfortable. Time to redecorate. Everything else was great!
