    Food was good. Just needs to be served all at the same time so everyone can enjoy their meal together and not watch each other eat.

    We waited for 30 minutes and all they brought us were waters to the table, they weren’t busy and had an attitude. Went to the Spanish restaurant underneath and service and food were 10/10!
