    Great food, nice employees. Our little girl has food allergies and the hostess went and got the chef who came out and went thru all the buffet items letting us know what is safe for her to eat. I was beyond impressed. Ive never had any restaurant do this. I think all places should learn from this place and put the safety of their patrons first. Well done guys. It was our first time here and we will come again.

    It was great vibes and loved the ambiance and the servers were great. It started getting louder towards night time and it was fun. The food wasn’t the top of my list, it could need a little bit of seasoning. but everything else made up for it.
