Acoustics - noise level horrible. Food was fair to good. Prices pretty much in line. Server did not wear a mask during advisory to do so. Atmosphere blah. Not likely to be a regular.

The guy working was professional and knew how to pour. I tipped him well because he didn't care who I was and poured consistently every drink. I had 3 and they were the same. 4 count. Great experience.
