The food was terrible and the service was worse...I can't believe this place stays in business. The only good thing is the live music.

My friend and I sat for dinner at 7pm on a Friday night. We sat at the table for about 15 minutes before anyone took a drink order. Our beers (in bottles) took about 15 minutes to arrive. When the beers were placed on our table, my friend had to shout out our appetizer order to our waiter as he ran away (we were hungry and had yet to place an order). We were shocked when our appetizers arrived 10 minutes later - and had still yet to place our dinner order. Our service was so bad, we asked to speak with the manager. The manager Steve came to our table, apologized, and then said he would "take care of us". At that point we placed our orders. Almost a half hour later - our meals arrived. My meal was very good, but my friend's meal was terrible. She took one bite and decided to send it back - unfortunately there was no waiter around for the next 15 minutes - so out of pitty for her starvation, I gave her half of my dinner. To my complete shock, the waiter proceded to try to sell us a dessert - when we demanding our check so we could just leave (we were now over 2 hours into dinner). I can't believe we had to pay for our meals. They did everything but splash water on us - the service was so bad! At the end of the meal, after we paid, I complained to the manager again - he gave me a VIP pass to try the restaurant out again - but to be honest, I am not sure I want to. For the amount of money this restaurant charges for food - and the atmosphere they wish to promote, I am absolutely shocked that the service is so incredibly bad.

Pros: Nice patio

Cons: bad service, expensive food (you have to order everything seperately), too loud
