    Food,service, price and ambience were excellent. We would’ve eaten outside, but the bugs were terrible. So we ate inside and the noise level was terrible. I would suggest the 3.5% charge for using a credit card be in the price of the food.

    The once intolerable noise has been mitigated by lots of money spent on noise baffling. Done so well it is not noticeable. Very pleasant. Food excellent as always. Staff well trained.

    Had reservations and were seated right away. Ordered within 10 minutes and waited over an hour for our food. My husband’s burger was overdone and horrible so sent that back. Rest of the food was mediocre. Will not return!

    Beautiful location and very friendly staff but the food didn’t meet my expectations, everything was just blah. Our waiter was great though I wish I would have gotten his name, I just know it was his second week working there. It was also very pricey but what isn’t now-a-days unfortunately. I would much rather spend the money at 527.
