“We had early reservations at the Wake Forest location so the crowd was a little light. I don't eat shellfish so usually my options at seafood restaurants is limited. Not so with this menu. I truly was torn on what to order but I settled on the smoked salmon Alfredo. It was so good along with everything else we ordered. Our server Leah was great and I highly recommend this location for happy hour, date night, game nights, or just a nice dinner.“

I got the beef Wellington and my partner got the beef tenderloin gnocchi and both were cooked to perfection. The service was pleasant as well.The restaurant was very loud though and would be ideal if there was more than one giant room in the restaurant. But overall, that's a good sign it's busy.“

“We tried this little gem today for lunch. They did an amazing job renovating this restaurant. It's absolutely beautiful and plenty of seating for small and larger groups. We were greeted immediately and the service was great! Everyone in our party lived their food. I had the brisket Philly (minus onions and peppers) and fries. There was a ton of very well flavored brisket on my sandwich and the fries were crispy but not over done. We tried the beignets for dessert and they were hot, fresh and delicious.“

“Come for the great service! Stay for the entertainment! The whole place is such an amazing vibe. Sink into a couch, lounge in an armchair, sit as a group at a table, meander at the bar ... and then there's an outdoor patio!!! There are books & games on the shelves but in most cases, live entertainment of various kinds throughout the week. Small eats menu (I haven't had them yet but the meatballs, when sitting in front of someone three feet away had the best smell!) & lots of drink options.“

You can play darts for free, and they also have a pool table, board games, and cards. We enjoyed our time hanging out, playing some games, and having drinks. There are a lot of paintings on the wall for sale. We'll be back again.“

Food was not only spectacularly presented, but was also DELICIOUS! ? As a Puerto Rican myself, I know what a good mofongo tastes like and the one I ate tonight was perfectly delicious! Jhonathan’s service went above and beyond. I even thought he was the owner! I will definitely be here again next time I’m in town. BTW…. I don’t know why so many reviews say their menus don’t have prices. I perfectly saw all prices on the menu I was given. I actually even saw them online. ??‍♀️“

“The service was great 10/10. Every server checked on us at some point and went above and beyond. Drinks were good as well. I ordered a fancy caramel apple old fashioned. It was delicious and sweet.I ordered the soup of the day. It came out broken and ungarnished. They promptly took it back to fix it. It was good but I think they just added cheese to remulsify it. It was kinda like a dip it was so cheesy and it still didn’t have bacon.“
