It wasn’t just a check for age, my wife and I are in our 50’s and clearly not under age. Food was good but the appetizer we ordered came after our meal so we sent it back and had it removed from our bill. It wasn’t busy so would have expected better service.

Service was very kind, but overwhelmed and forgot a number of things. I don’t blame them, as it was chaotic. Food was fine. Overall, served its purpose but nothing to write home about

We easily switched from a shorter table that seemed more suited for lounging, to a taller dining table with the help of the very accommodating staff. A very reasonable gratuity was included in our bill, making for an easy checkout with the waitstaff. The lighting was pretty dim inside, so be prepared with a phone flashlight and/or reading glasses to read the menus.
