My husband and I went for dinner (first timers) and I picked the place because of their decor. What a fabulous experience: service was immaculate, great food, affordable prices for the food AND adult drinks, excellent band with outstanding repertoire, we loved the ambiance. It has been ages that I recommended a place, this is IT!
