"My family of seven made reservations for 12/1/2024 looking forward to going to this restaurant on New Year’s Day. We planned the day celebrating around our reservations as we have looked forward to dining here for a very long time. What brought us to the restaurant was the videos of a fun atmosphere with dancing, music and great food. We did see several poor reviews for this location but hoped they had corrected the issues that were complained about. When we arrive we waited a very long time for the hostess to seat us (it appeared to have two hosts staffed at the time). As we walked to our table I noticed several of the guests packed in together back to back at the tables and several had not been served drinks (several sections were empty, so I did not understand at first why we were all stacked in one section). We also walked past the bar and noticed several cleaning sprays, cleaning bottles and dirty rags placed all over the bar next to dirty dishes and drinks waiting to be served. Also, along the back of wall several of the TV’s were not working and the floor was dirty. We sat at the table for 15/20 minutes before we were handed water (of which all but one of my party was given water). My daughter did not get water nor was asked. I turned to the table behind me and asked if they had been given the opportunity to give a drink order (as they had been sat several minutes before us) and with frustration they said no. We waited an additional 10 minutes and I walked up to the hostess and asked if they only had one server working at lunch time on New Year’s Day. She responded with “yes, sorry”. After sitting for total of 30 minutes we decided to leave and walk across the street and eat at Dicks Last Resort. We only were served 6 out of 7 glasses of water and had no conversations with the server except thanking him for a glass of water. No one checked on the table, asked why we were leaving, tried to help, offered to take our order, offered wate"

"If I could give this place a 1.5 rating, I would. It was Thanksgiving and we had reservations. We are a party of 5 and were seated in a corner booth clearly too small for all of us. I asked the hostess if we could move but she said “no, there are other reservations and this is all we have.” Meanwhile, there are plenty of other tables open. After asking 2 more times, we were moved to a larger booth and made to feel uncomfortable with the body language. Oh yes and we were also told that there were on 2 thanksgiving dinners left. Our server was clearly way too busy with other tables. He checked in and took our order, but the attention could have been more. Especially since there were 5 of us. Very frustrating. We ordered some mussels for appetizer. The mussels were not cooked fully and many of them were not open and very slimy/raw still. My 13 year old son deeply cut his finger trying to open one of them and had to excuse himself to the bathroom to clean the blood off his hands and clean his shirt. Not necessarily a great start to dinner. The mussels were sent back and after waiting 45 minutes, they were prepared properly. We all ordered our food, including my order of the 40 ounce ribeye. The ribeye was very chewy and not necessarily tasteful either. The side dishes were cold and we rarely saw our waiter to complain. By then, we wanted to just eat and get out of there. I didn’t want to cause a scene in front of my family especially on thanksgiving. When our check came, an automatic 20% tip was added. This was a very expensive meal for 5 people and I feel as if I could have gotten a lot better somewhere else. Very disappointed all around. This place is overpriced and overrated."
