I had my doubts about this place from the beginning, but since it was suggested by another person in our fairly large party, I decided not to be difficult and go.
We arrived at 8:30 on a Friday night. The wait was OK considering we had 9 in our group. They do have a cozy waiting section in the corner, filled with plush couches and chairs, however it's not a very intimate spot. The music was so loud and the couches were so far apart everyone in the group ended up shouting across the space just to have a conversation.
The wait staff, hostesses and bartenders we all very friendly and quick to offer up something to drink. The food was ... OK. Not the worst I've had, but certainly not the best. I got the grilled cheese - it was as expected. The fries were very good. Two friends got burgers, who said they were decent, and another two friends got the steak kabobs, which received mediocre reviews.
The other patrons weren't quite as fratty as I was expecting from reading previous reviews on here, but I can see where they were going with it. No Affliction or Ed Hardy tees in sight ...
