Just an FYI - there is no reason to ask or give a reason for dining when making your reservation. It is neither noticed nor acknowledged. Food was fine and this is one of the better places to dine while at the MOA.

Great ambiance and vibe going on with the restaurant. Food items were delicious …great menu. The server was delightful when at the table, but clearly stretched as timing was “off.” Professional, friendly, and apologetic for the timing gaps, they were doing their best given the workload. Definitely atypical situation compared to prior visits.

The music was a little loud for casual conversation, but our Server was able to turn it down a little. There's nothing worse than having to compete to loud music when dining with friends and trying to talk.
