The restaurant business is tough, so is eating here.

by rj243

Beer was warm, food was well below average. Service was even worse. Our waitress never asked either of my friends if they would like another glass of wine. She just dropped the bill and some to-go containers on the table and left. Can't even blame the poor service on the restaurant being busy. We were three of approx. 15 people in the place. Never again. DDITY

  • Pros: $3 draft beers all summer. But they're warm.
  • Cons: warm beer, poor food, worse service
