All the servers are intoxicated and the kitchen is absolutely disgusting. The manager has the cooks back there even if their sick with covid. 0/10 dont recommend.

Overall I was happy with the outdoor seating, scenery, and bar drinks. But I would go A LOT more if there were gluten free options. Having some GF buns frozen and some boxes of Barilla GF pasta to substitute one a few dishes would be a simple fix and would make a massive difference for my family and friends. Plus I wouldn't be stuck with salads and having to watch them eat hearty entrees or woodfire pizzas that look yummm. Pros: Fun events that get you out of the house, music, trivia, full bar, friendly staff, event space for business gatherings or parties, plentiful outdoor seating, nice fire pits, spacious outside that is scenic and reminiscent of Tahoe. Cons: Menu is limited, really not good for food allergies, couple times my order went in and then I was told they didn't have the item and had to pick something else, awkward vibe inside a corporate building, few inside tables in empty space, very limited bar seating, so strange. (But sit outside and you're fine).

Loud music heard miles away late at night is ridiculous. Owner doesn't care about the community nor the residents, just about the money he makes. Police noted its planned to go on until 11pm or so, very disrespectful.

This place gets worse and worse. I will not longer come here at all anymore. I don't know if they are *trying* to drive business down or what? We were told we would have to sit in the bar area to get anything off the happy hour menu. Mind you, we were coming into a completely empty dining hall. There are no tables that can accommodate a family in the bar area. So we ordered one terribly prepared caprese salad on the wobbly tiny table and left. Never again. Can't wait for other options at this location.

Made plans to have my wedding catered through them. Changed the date due to Covid then canceled giving them more than a year advanced notice. I never had a tasting or any services from them and they still kept my $1,500 deposit.
