    They were very busy but that did not affect the service and food quality. It’s a great place!

    Fun evening in the bar, great service. Only criticism is please dump the live music. People come to eat, drink and chat. Music gets in the way

    Very upsetting. Upon arrival staff said if we are ordering food to do so asap because the kitchen was closing at 7pm. Our reservation was made for 7pm dinner to celebrate our moms birthday and Mother’s Day. The waitress then said she was confused because kitchen always closes 8pm she took our order. Some of our food was cold, shrimp was over cooked the chicken bland. I requested for a piece of cake to be brought out to my mom for our family to sing Happy Birthday. The waitress brought it out to the wrong person. Not sure if the staff were rushing to get out of there. But they should be prepared to serve and assist clients especially if we had a reservation and it’s Mother’s Day weekend.
