Amazing place for hanging out with friends. Big and spacious with view. Good beers and food. Usually there is some waiting in busy hours. Plenty of parking available.

Areas for Improvement

Customers suggest ensuring consistent alcohol levels in cocktails, especially when substitutions are made. Wait times for seating, even when the restaurant isn't full, could also be improved.

Recent Trends
