The customer service was amazing... all the staff had happy energy and were willing to help us out. Our food came out quickly and was very tasty. We enjoyed and will most likely come back. My wife loved the decor. Awesome observation...the crew was celebrating a team effort of reaching a sales point for the day...it super cool to see the management and owner celebrate with their staff. I almost asked for an application to work there..celebrating victories is awesome.
