"After driving 9 hours to see my best friend who had just moved to the area, she suggested that we try this place because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews online. From the moment we walked into the restaurant, I knew something was off. No one was at the host stand, however, we waited patiently for several minutes to be acknowledged by anyone there. The host eventually came out but did not greet us, only pausing to confirm that we were a party of 2. If this wasn’t off putting enough, we found ourselves being led to an area of the restaurant that immediately felt completely disjointed from the rest of the seating. Not only was the room already at half capacity with several large families and small children but we also noted the heavy carpeting, fluorescent lighting, massive TV, and floor-to-ceiling view of the parking lot that awaited us. The atmosphere felt much more like a hotel lobby than an upscale restaurant. We were also confused as to why two women in their twenties who were clearly looking to enjoy a private dinner were sharing this weird space with screeching toddlers when the remainder of the restaurant wasn’t overly busy. Instead of leaving immediately or requesting an alternative table, we both silently decided to let it go and try to focus on what to order off the menu instead. The salad options and wood fired wings were tempting but ultimately underwhelming. The server brought out our entire order in less than 10 minutes and failed to hold the entree back from the salad which should've been a known faux pas. We had hoped the meal itself would redeem the experience but were sorely disappointed. Suffice to say, this is not an establishment that I can recommend in earnest to anyone else."
