    Was never brought a dish we ordered and forgot to notify the staff. Food and drinks were good but first round of drinks took exceptionally long. Host was not welcoming and staff overall was not the friendliest. Didn’t feel too welcomed which was a bummer as I looked forward to finally trying this place out.

    Angelina was an amazing waitress on Christmas day. The food and drinks were fantastic. While the inside of the restaurant is nice, it does sit on a busy street that was noisy. That is my only complaint. Everything else was great!
