We went early, around 5PM, so not crowded, parking was easy and we were greeted right away with the choice of where to sit. The server was there quickly, and very efficient and timely with drink and food orders. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My only suggestion would be to have a physical list of the beers available. They had a wine and cocktail menu, but you had to follow a QR code for the beer. Older folk appreciate paper menus. Very enjoyable early evening - I will return.
