Sat on the patio for lunch on a beautiful day, and it was very pleasant despite the music being just a bit too loud. The service was excellent, and the plating was very appealing. The food was good to very good, and the alcoholic drinks were a a little light on the alcohol. Parking is easy because of the large parking lot. I would definitely come back if I was looking for patio dining on this end of the valley, and I will try the Westlake Village location. I'd really like to try some other things on the menu.Like a lot of restaurants have trended toward, you get less for the price here which inspires me to not buy a second drink. My wine was small but good. My husband got their Bourbon Mash which would have been delicious if it hadn't tasted so watered down. Maybe the other location is better.We shared a delicious Bavarian Pretzel and dips. My husband loved the pepperoni pizza, and I enjoyed the Prime Rib Cheesesteak which was better than many other restaurants but still somewhat lacking but much improved after I added the leftover mustard from the pretzel. The cheesesteak came with fries which I upgraded to truffle fries, and what appeared to be house made chips. The fries we absolutely disappointing in any context, and I only had a few but the chips were really very good even as leftovers.I'm a picky B about food and like rich, complex, or just strong flavors, so for most people the food here will be great, but it was a little bland for me. Texture is another issue for me, and this entire meal was spot on for texture. For this reason, I look forward to trying more items on the menu.

Food was horrible. My wings smelled like beef jerky. The skin on the wings was like the hard bone stuff on ribs. It was horrible. I felt sick. Beer was lit tho. So was the old fashioned. Oh the fries were great. And onion rings. Don't get the wings.
