I'm agreed with others that the prices on the menu merit wait staff ordering, as opposed to having to go up to the counter to order. I also had to go back to the counter to get a refill. I'm not...

The food here is ok, but for the prices I'd rather they have table service instead of having to go up to a counter to place orders. They could also upgrade their decor. I heard they have good...

I echo the reviews who question the service here. There is a major "we are doing you a favor" feel around the place. The food is actually pretty good but the service takes away from the experience....

This place is a pain in the ass. The system for ordering beers/booze is ridiculous and the mixed drinks (after waiting a long time) seems to be mediocre. Methinks not. As for the food, eh, I mean it's...

Terrible service today. Forty-five minutes from order time to get served. They weren't that busy, just forgot my order. Then told me the fish tacos take longer to prepare. Shame on them.

Go for the happy hour, 1/2 price appetizers are great. The only down side of this place is the noise level. The pizza is also world class and worth a try.
