Got here at 9:15pm, and said they were closed. Except the posted hours are 10pm. That is horrible customer service. I would not suggest this to anyone in the area - no understanding of appropriate customer service...

Don't believe the good reviews. This place has terrible food, water down drinks and is overpriced to boot.

Tried to make a reservation for a party of 25. Called and was told catering manager would call me back. Never heard from anyone so tried calling for over a week. Left messages etc. finally booked something at Legals. Then 3 days before my event I get an email from barking crab about my event.
