    Didn’t get seated until an hour after our “reservation” time. And then once we got seated the bar and the kitchen was backed up. We finally ate around 10p. The music was great though.

    The food and atmosphere was amazing. However, the first server that we had it was a little rude. But the guy that replaced her afterwards, Ronaldo was awesome. But if you would recommend the place 8/10 . Would’ve been a 10 out of 10 if the waitress wasn’t rude.

    We had a reservation and wasn't seated until 30 minutes later. This was my second time dining at this restaurant and experienced the same issue. Small table for 2. Waiters took long to greet us. Food was average

    I celebrated my daughter’s 15th birthday here and it was amazing! This was my first time at the restaurant as well. The ambience, the cleanliness, the food, the customer service was a 10/10. I am definitely coming back in January with my friends for a night out!
