I decided to give this place another chance. From a distance I saw a nice looking firepit in their outdoor seating area so when I got to the door, I asked to be seated there.
The outdoor seats are very uncomfortable and to my surprise people are allowed to smoke. Our waitress was very nice about having us moved to an indoor table. I later found out that they have 2 outdoor eating areas. The other area doesn't allow smoking, but that other area doesn't have a nice fire pit.
Even though there were many more guests, the food was faster to come during this visit. The waitress was incredibly nice.
