“Friday Happy Hour maybe but for dinner??...”
Don't waste your money. The food is just okay, not outstanding, and it's expensive. Service was barely average. The place wasn't busy on a Tuesday, but we still waited a while just to be greeted and order drinks. It took even longer to put in our food order, and then about half an hour to actually get the food. To make matters worse, one of the main dishes was not what we asked for.

“Great Happy Hour!”
The drinks were strong, the appetizers were excellent, and the crowd was lively. This is one of the best happy hours I've experienced, and the atmosphere was amazing.

“Very good”
It's usually packed with people from the bar scene after happy hour or before heading out for the evening. It can get loud, so it's more suited for a group of friends.
