Family of 6 adults celebrating a birthday party. Crammed in a booth. (1 pregnant) we had a reservation. Never been before. If we return. We will do high top. Food was good. Average. But the birthday girls brunch biscuits were not cooked. Was returned and remade and received 20 min later after much of us were finished. Server was apologistic, but was not taken off bill. Did get a complimentary bd dessert. Very underwhelming.

Place is a good atmosphere, food was average, drinks were very good, service was a little slow initially i.e. drinks but apps and entrees came out fast, apps were very good (warm pretzels and shrimp cocktail huge), entrees were OK, roasted chicken didn’t have any flavor and was difficult to eat, person in my party enjoyed the steak tips and another the teriyaki chicken bowl, very strong cannabis odor with one of the servers.

From the time we walked in until the time we left we felt very unwelcome. The two hostesses were extremely rude and unwelcoming to us when we walked in. It put a bad taste in our mouth from the very beginning. Once seated our waitress was sweet, but the service was extremely slow. It took over 20 minutes from the time we ordered our drinks to get them and then an additional 5-10 minutes for our children to get their drinks. The food was ok- nothing to write home about. Once we were done the table next to us was getting reprimanded by the hostess for being late to their reservation even though they apologized up and down and had young kids with them. It just was not the friendliest spot. I don’t think I will go back.
