The service was good as was the food. We arrived at a time when the place was very busy during the NJLM conference. I can only imagine what the cooks were going through in the kitchen. Respect to them. We were patient and got our food.

My experience here was phenomenal. My server was Sophia, she was very sweet, fast and attentive. She gave me her recommendations for food. I got the nachos and the chocolate peanut butter cake it was to die for. I will be returning for sure. If i could give 100 stars I would. Such a friendly environment.

I could make nachos better for cheaper obviously these were made in a microwave and our coworkers had plastic in their soup and I had shells. The only thing good was our server. The other servers were constantly arguing out on the floor it was bad dont do it.

Service quick, food was okay. The brisket was cut to thick (made it hard to bit) and the fish and chips was over cooked. But the other food was prepared good.
