I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing experience! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the music was fantastic. This restaurant is perfect for a birthday celebration, with a diverse crowd that created a great vibe. The food was delicious—we loved the appetizers—and the drinks were strong, so we didn’t need many. I highly recommend it!
