Food was delicious and service was great. I did not appreciate the 3.5% surcharge on the bill to “keep the menu prices stable”. It is dishonest and I wish they would just set the menu prices properly. The surcharge is disclosed on the menu but I shouldn’t have to read the fine print and do math to know the price of my meal.

Always an enjoyable, positive experience. Consistently excellent quality of food and service. Mark is always welcoming and attentive. Nice energy, but not too loud, to enjoy conversation with friends over a meal.

Waiter was polite and attentive. Service was prompt. Tabletop devices/ordering was a bit confusing (When to use it? Not use it?). Food was great/delicious.
