I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing experience! The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively, and the music was fantastic. This restaurant is perfect for a birthday celebration, with a diverse crowd that created a great vibe. The food was delicious—we loved the appetizers—and the drinks were strong, so we didn’t need many. I highly recommend it!

My date night was over all great!!!! Our server was Max, he was amazing. He gave honest food options and knew the menu well. Food came out fast and was good. A little on the high side of the dollar but a great place so I didn't mind.
