    Servers were very friendly, however a bit unattentive, had to ask for things a few times such as a plate or salt and pepper, however the food is amazing and everyone very friendly and great local crowd. Absolutely recommend.

    Although the food was good, we waited almost an hour for our food and they weren't even busy. The waiter was quite absent.
