We went for a friend's birthday, there were 13 of us, we made reservations 1.5 weeks in advance. The hostess and bartender (prior to being seated) were polite and helpful. My pleasant experience ended there. Our server, new and obviously inexperienced was slow, didn't know the menu and all around unable to get a drink order correct. The food came out in a timely manner, but it was just not good. The ribs were dry and tough, the macaroni and cheese dry, the fried chicken dark and tasted like old frying oil. Most of our table was deeply unhappy with our overall experience. I won't go back.
