Our Guestbook
“ We wondered in and thought we hit the jackpot. Our 1st bartender was friendly, attentive and made a great drink. Our replacement Dana was unhappy with being at work or unhappy with waiting on ladies I'm not sure.We were polite and said thank you EVERYTIME she came to the table she acted like she was deaf and said NOTHING. I really wanted to leave a 1 but your establishment didn't deserve that. You have a great establishment and I hope this was an off night. ”
