Food was good enough but the 90 minute limit and servers trying to take food off your table (when food is still on it) is annoying. The main entree took awhile to come also which makes you have to rush and eat it before your time is up.

The seating is too close no accommodation for handicap. The food was ok, the drinks were amazing just like the service and music. Not a first date restaurant.
