  1. I go there every year for my birthday – it’s a nice place to invite all of my friends to join me for dinner and sometimes they’ve even had some live music. The wait staff has been great over the years and the foot is always good. Last year, though, it was difficult for some of my family and friends to order as they have gone to ordering over your phone from the table and some people wanted to pay with cash. They worked out a way to do it, but it was difficult and annoying for my guests. Not sure if we’ll be back this year or not. Hope they make a change to allow an easier way to pay with cash.
