Had my mom's birthday here yesterday and the service was awesome. Jalissa was our server and attended to us every second. Made sure the food was good and to our liking she was awesome. The manager was awesome as well! Let us store our cake in their fridge and even gave us plates, forks and a lighter when it was time to eat it. Probably one of the best service we have received in Avondale. The cooks were busy all night and still gave us great food. Will be returning and telling...

We had an excellent experience thanks to James. He was very kind, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. His service was outstanding and made us feel truly welcomed. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve ever had. Thank you!

We were visiting the Avondale area and searched for a restaurant on Google, where we found this gem of a place. The food was delicious, atmosphere was very comfortable and clean, and Jordan our server was quite delightful. We give it a 5-star review. Everything was good with my favorite being the delicious warm bread and Chicken Parmigiana which was soooo yummy. 👍🏼
