Most Disliked
While many rave about the overall experience, some patrons have expressed that the seating can get crowded, especially during peak times like Fridays at 7 PM. Reservations are recommended for larger groups to ensure a good spot without lengthy waits.
The kitchen closes at 9 PM, which may disappoint late-night diners hoping for a quick bite after a night out. Some diners have noted a disconnect between food and the spicy level, sometimes leaning towards saltiness instead of the desired kick, especially with certain appetizers like jalapeño poppers.
Also, the décor, while cozy, may not appeal to those looking for a more upscale dining environment. Individuals seeking a fine dining experience may find this casual bar and grill not meeting their expectations.

Food is Huge portions and delicious, reasonably priced, and amazing, attentive customer service. Definitely a hidden gem, and chill date night or just get out night. I attempted to put a galaxy s24 ultra for comparison size for your viewing.
