Atmosphere
Pros:

"They have daily specials during the week. Very good."
"Nice selection of drinks and good prices."
Cons:
"While we understand inflation we felt the food was more expensive them in the past."

"On our bill it said that a 15% tip on a $30 check was $11 dollars!"
"I spent 80 bucks on food and delivery tip/fees and it was garbage. Waste on money."
