Five stars across the board the food, the drinks, and the customer service. Came in for Tuesday happy hour and let me tell you this is the place to be. First me and my friend was greeted by the bartender/server Victoria and let me say she was awesome. For her to handle the bar and serving in a timely manner while having a calm composure was let’s just say impressive. We ordered the candy man wings and the honey garlic wings it was cooked to perfection and sooo good. I had a lemon drop with tequila and my friend had the trapstar with star tasted very good and balanced. Great ambience. Fun environment. Good food. - Katherine Morales
