On 10/19/2026 Amanda Smith had this to say:
I attended a celebration of life for Charlie King yesterday. I'm not so sure how this place operates on a day to day basis, but I can say the staff was amazing and prompt, the place was clean and from what I've been told it's normally a really good place to hang out. The event held was done tastefully and I'm sure Charlie would have approved. Good job.
