    Food was amazing! I was on my lunch break, and the restaurant was very slow as it was the day after a major holiday. Service was painfully slow, and I attribute this to the expectation that the restaurant would be slow, and not enough staff was scheduled. It is unlikely that I will return.

    I’m sure this place gets really loud at night, but our girls club meeting needed a place where we could share conversation and talk and drinks (they pour heavy!!) and so this was perfect. Brunch was very good, my partners -in-crime mostly had lunch and liked it too. For drinks and a meal, it was reasonably priced.

    We were early for our reservation and although there were a large amount of open tables, we got a booth with no view or ambiance whatsoever. We were seated immediately and soon had water on our table. Bar drink took a very long time and they held up the other beverages too. Our server wasn’t very attentive. The restaurant overall was very very loud and if you like music videos it was like being at an MTv video bar/restaurant. We had received a coupon mailer that we forgot to take but we won’t likely be going back. Too loud!

    We started with an order of Cheese Curds that were excellent (no leftovers) and a pitcher of Bloody Marys that were also excellent. My Sweetheart had a French Dip Sandwich while my son had the Thirsty Lion Breakfast Burger (I may not have that name exactly correct) . The food was superb and the ambiance was also wonderful (we sat on the patio) and our Server (Kate?) did an outstanding job. I had a Breakfast Burrito and I also got the check. It was worth every penny!

    First time here and Mitch was a good waiter he checked on us and wait time on drink and food came out fast items were yummy and drinks was good. The only issue was 1 restroom was working which cause a long wait to use the restroom. Hopefully, that issue will be fix soon.

    When we came in, the host was right in front of the door but she never hosted us. We thought we had to get our own seats. When we sat on our own, no one came so we had to step up to the hostess and then she got us the server. Server tried to take my plate even not done. Well? Hospitality needs to be improved at this location. Happy hour was great though
