    Lovely, staff were so kind and attentive. Our food picturesque, flavorful, really to die for, if I’m being honest. Our drinks were well balanced, hats off to the bartender, truly superb.

    Had a great time, good food and drinks. Friendly staff. Music was a bit too loud for conversations but a great playlist.

    The food is “affordable” bc it’s not good. It was 7:00 PM on a Friday and the place was an all out club. Not going back there again.

    I chose this spot to celebrate my younger brother's new job, and I have no regrets. Definitely would go back.

    Food was good overall. However, it was so loud almost at a NYC club at 6:30 on a Wednesday night.

    The food and service were amazing! The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the noise. It was a Wednesday evening and i wanted to unwind with friends, but i didn’t expect a disco ball as the light source and music so loud that we had to scream. But yknow. Who can really complain that much about a fun disco ball :)
