Rounding up from a 3.8. Decent meal at a reasonable price, but i wonder how long they can survive without more traffic. The menu is promising, but the kitchen misses a bit. See photo captions for details. Ambience - dark in spots, light in spots and just not quite pulled together. We wanted to love it as we like the concept. Please get your kitchen to expedite and work on the recipes just a little more. 👏🏼

I live tge cigar/Great Gatsby feel of this restaurant! Last minute decision, we celebrated my best friend's 50th birthday and they did not dissappoint! We had live entertainment (Saturday) great food, fast service and a kind smile from our server. We tried so.e appetizers (artichokes, shrimp, but the winner was the oh so delicious chocolate cake!!

Our large party of 20+ experience was sub-par. There was only one server at a time working the table and there was a decent lag between courses. The environment, the live music, and the food were amazing. The personalized menus for the event also set the bar high right at the beginning... Just fell short on the service. Will definitely come back with a smaller party. Please improve large party service and experience so I can bring more friends here!!

Not my first time here, been coming in for years. Ordered some take out tonight. Got the fried chicken some fried tomatoes and the chocolate cake. It was all delicious. If you’re looking for inside catering for an event or wedding they can take care of those needs as well.

Overall very good spot. Easy parking, friendly owner, server very attentive, steaks were excellent, fish a little dry but good, wine was flowing and the music was solid and entertaining.

It's a high-energy environment in the bar area with exceptional people watching and live music. The food is very good quality and the restaurant is great dining for groups or romantic dinner for two. Super fun atmosphere for an evening out. Don't forget to put your dancing shoes on because you'll want to dance to the great live music they feature regularly. Check the schedule. Enjoy!

Just randomly stopped here on my way up north and I'm quite glad I ended up here. The food was very good and the service was quick. Staff were very kind and the food was great, overall great experience. Also stop by here on Tuesdays they have a great dinner menu with food on special.
