Alexandria MonroeJanuary 14, 2012We reserved the upstairs for a birthday party. We got here and upstairs was full. Unhappy customer. Not coming back.
Monica WoodsonOctober 31, 2010This place is wonderful! I went for a first date and the date was horrible but I didn't have to speak to him because of the loud music!!
Didi VernetOctober 23, 2011Service was horrendous! We waited 15 minutes before our server came to our table - to then have him spill water on us, and never come back to take our orders!
James HaynesNovember 3, 2013This is my first time here. It is HIGHLY, VERY HIGHLY OVER PRICED! It is very OVERRATED as the food is concerned. You pay for the Name!

Larry StroudFebruary 21, 2013The absolute worst service I have ever gotten. The bartender was more interested in showing pics to his buddy than doing his job.
Toya OutlawOctober 7, 2011Not sanitary...do not eat here! Terrible service as well. Sent my food back that i had bitten & touched and it was put back on the same cooktop as the new food being prepared. Disgusted.
What's going on with the service here?! Its beyond awful and we haven't even been seated yet!
