    Ugh... Getting service here is the worst. Even just getting the hostess' attention for a table is a chore. But they're in the buy one, get one cocktail book.

    I agree the bartenders with wristbands think they are cooler than they are....

    The other guy is nuts. The service here is golden. My glass was never empty without a replacement standing by.

    Overpriced. All sandwiches are ala cart, so no sides. $6 for a grilled cheese is a bit much for my taste.

    We had a great server... But the host was awful. I guess service was not the best

    Agreed. Service is poor and food was soggy from sitting too long before getting to our table.
