Happy Hour!

Went there yesterday because I had to wait for a friend at Extreme ended up having a few drinks on their patio, and on Mondays its $3.99 home brewed pints, nothing beats a nice buzz after work to start the night.

Haven't been to this location in quite a while, mostly due to previously underwhelming food/service. Only came back here because it was conveniently located to friends whom we were dining with. Reading some of the other recent reviews, many sharing similar experiences of poor service, I should have pushed a bit harder to move our dinner to another restaurant.

If you're going simply for the food, you will be fine. Food is usually decent and has nice plate presentation.

If you're going for a date, steer clear.

The lighting is terrible and with bright lights hanging over the middle of each table, your date (and yourself) will have strange shadows cast across their face. You will look older and slightly haggard.

Not a bad meal. Price was appropriate for quality of meal received.

Service was OK. Waitress wasn't very knowledgeable about their menu. Otherwise service was good.

I had the blackened chicken burger which was quite good. Serving size was good. Not too much and not to little. Burger came with a side of fries and ketchup (it was nice to not have to ask for it for once!)
