Arrive hungry because there is a lot of food! Very tasty! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive! Suggested we all share, which we did and there were still leftovers! They sat us next to a party of 10 and it was quite noisy. Overall it was a nice place and we all will go back!

This is a very nice restaurant with very good food. The service was slow the day we were there although the waitress was nice. It seemed like they were low on staff. I would suggest that they replace the benches in the boothes. I felt like I needed a booster seat. I would definitely go there again.
