Horrible service! The sign said seat yourself so we did and were never greeted. Finally we flagged down a passing server and got menus. We left shortly after. Very disappointed.

Worst Service Ever. Unfortunately is a trend at Bars owned by Mark Sellers. Really too bad, because otherwise they're all great places.
