  First experience at this restaurant tonight with my husband. The atmosphere is nice - cool furnishings, good music, etc. - and our waiter was very friendly. The food, however, was absolutely disgusting. There is no nice way to say it. We ordered calamari to start and it was actually worse than a frozen bag of calamari from Costco. I ordered jumbo shrimp skewer with veggies... this is where it turns bad to so bad it becomes funny. I received one skewer of recently thawed minature shrimps that were clearly microwaved with NO seasoning of any sort. No oil, not even salt. They were so bland and shriveled it was as if they were dunked in chlorox prior to being microwaved. Needless to say, I did not eat the meal. it was comp'ed.... and the server was nice about it. He's a nice guy and this place is bringing his cred down. He deserves better.

  I like the vibe of this place. Also had love music while I was there. Food was good, wings were almost tempura like. Great atmosphere.

  Here for karaoke and checked out the late night menu and didn't know what to get because it all seemed appealing, but I went with different item, absolutely yummy. And the bartender, Brad, is a sweet gem and a delite guy to sit at the bar to. Will be back soon!!

  I went for an event on a Sunday with my family. The place looks great. I loved the lighting and decorations. The restaurant was almost full but I only saw two servers. It took quite awhile for anyone to come to our table but our server was very nice when he arrived. The food was disappointing. I ordered the kraken burger - nothing special. I also upgraded to a twice baked potato. The bottom part was dark brown and hard. It looked like it was fried. Inside it had some very white potato with a few seasonings on top. I think it was just potato, not mashed with milk or butter. We really enjoyed the band and wished they could have played longer. After the band packed up, there was no music playing in the bar. It kind of ruined the vibe and many people left. 1 star for food, 4 for atmosphere!

  The food was not good. The Spinach dip was good but very small quantity. I had a philly steak but therewas hardly any steak. It was like thin slices of extremely well done meat with hardly any cheese and lots of bell peppers. The mashed potatoes were the worst. Or maybe I just don't like lumpy unseasoned mashed potatoes. Definitely will not go again.
