Decor is nice, service was fine, but the food is only "OK" (exception being the spicy chicken wings - the best we've ever had) its the live music factor that gives it a boost. Choose to dine here if only if the entertainer appeals to you, otherwise skip it.

If you wanna drink you could do better. If you wanna eat, ditto. But if you want music, pick the right time and have a great time. Pretty hard to get a bad seat or a good meal. Go, but be warned.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
