Reservations are key, especially for the lunch hour rush. The decor is an interesting mix between that of a typical sports bar (on steroids) and a night club. Televisions great and small all showing sport of one type or another dominate the walls. The lighting is kept quite low all the more enhancing the brightness of the screens. Juxtaposed to this are the mostly female staff all dressed and primped for a night club, not for a sporting event.\n\nWhile the decor might be a bit odd, the food is quite good. The menu offers a wide variety of fare, suitable for both lunch and dinner. Most impressive is the standard of quality. On one of my first visits I ordered soup only to have the server return to inform me the chef would not be serving it as it didn't meet his standards. She was apologetic, offered something else from the menu and didn't charge me for it. They also offer an extensive alcohol menu sure to include something for everyone. Both menus have the feel of being carefully and creatively designed to ensure quality while providing lots of options.\n\nThe after work crowd can be a bit overwhelming. Between the high volume of people and the music being turned up, conversation can at times be challenging. If you're hoping to have a quieter experience I'd suggest requesting one of the smaller booths farthest from the two story television/bar area.\n\nBottom line: This is a fun place for work functions or to watch a big game."^^ . .
