The only reason I'm giving any stars at all is because 1) I wanted to write this review, and 2) because the place still deserves a star for great staff, specifically Chris the weekday bartender and the bar-side waitresses (one of the dining-side waitresses, however, felt the need to shuffle us over to the over-crowded bar side today)
New ownership has recently taken over (in the last 4 months or so) and the prices have absolutely sky-rocketed. Prices go up, as with anything, but some of our favorite menu items have literally doubled in the last few months. We were looking forward to trying more of the items on their menu, but at the prices they are now: not a hope in hell.
Moreover, the ambiance has changed considerably. They now have loud (and obnoxiously bad in some cases) bands every Friday; an inadequately configured sound system and bad acoustics are something that should have been sorted out beforehand.
What used to be a nice casual Friday night out with my wife (Vixen T, who previously reviewed this place positively) is now a mess of overpriced drunk noise.
