But they make a big deal about it being family style which means they will send food out as it done. Which means the first item came out and 1 hour 15 min later the last dish came out which is super ridiculous. Family style means you can share. Portions are not shareable really and the pacing of the meal was absolutely stupid. Super loud. I didn’t mind it but maybe they can turn it down to a 9 instead of an 11. Waitress was nice and apologized profusely when I said our last dish hadn’t arrived yet. I would go again for the food but now I know about the pacing of how the food is brought out.
