I had a poor experience at this restaurant. I hate to make assumptions however it seemed as if the server didn't want to serve us. After waiting 30 minutes, the hostess approached us and asked if anyone stopped by. I said no and watched her tell the server to assist us. The server ignored her and serviced two tables that sat down after us. After seeing this exchange, I left. I didn't feel comfortable having someone who clearly didn't want me there serve me any food or beverage.

The food was good and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only comment is that their “sides” portions could be a bit bigger for the price (got about 1/3 cup of cole slaw for extra $4)

The food was great and reasonably priced. The service was excellent. However, the place is really a sports bar (extremely noisy) and not a restaurant. Maybe we failed to realize this when we read about the place. If so, the fault lies with us. If it were me, I would get rid of the televisions or get rid of the live singer. The place is too busy with both.

Service was good, music was good Good location Goor was terrible Linguini with chicken was dry and tasteless. I’ve had better from a Bertoli bag from freezer section of Safeway. Pizza (medium) was $25! Advertised as NY style pizza, delivered in a Roman Pizza box (thing Little Caesar) actually, the pizza pizza guy is much better in magnitudes of 10. Dinner for two at a over rated sub shop with one glass of wine was $100 with tip! Really??? Save your time & money…got to Pizza Hut Cheaper, and a hell Of a lot better value and taste

This is a sports bar, but the food and service are much better than most. The only problem is that they are still serving an abbreviated menu because of Covid, while they online menu still depicts the full non-Covid menu from a couple of years ago. The current menu still has a few deli sandwiches but is largely made up of pizza. Given that limitation, the food and service were very good and we will be back.

Exactly what a sports bar should be. My son (teenager) and I have visited several times to graze and watch hockey. Never have had a bad experience.
