We enjoyed our entire experience. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Great follow up with questions to wait staff. The food was cooked to perfection and nice portion size and tasted delicious. The only issue, is the high noise level made it difficult to hear - this might not be the norm. We will certainly return.
