Have been here several times. two points of note. First, the restaurant was virtually empty this visit and so very quiet. Can't say would be same if busy. Also, for those who check restaurant grades - as I do - three grades (and certificates) are listed. One "A" and two "Not yet graded". Caused confusion. However, I called Dept of Health to ask about this and they said last inspection in July 2024 was "A". I mentioned this to manager.
