    Drinks were good. It wasn’t busy when we went but took forever to get my drink. Was also given the wrong food order but was just fed up at that point so I left it alone.

    The food the ambiance and the music was perfect for a date night. The only thing I had a problem with was that my waitress put my appetizers and dinner order in at the same time which made all of the food come out at the same . I also had to ask the waitress to clean the table after removing the plates when she clearly saw the table was a mess full of food . That was my only complaint but I will still return !

    The waitress was rushing us so much that we left and had to find another restaurant to continue engaging. There was no line outside or anything else that would explain the rush either
