Had a really nice lunch here with a friend. The patio was really nice and cozy on such a beautiful day. Traffic was a little loud since it's off a busy road, but we really enjoyed our time there.

Very busy when we arrived! I will definitely give this place a 5 star. Our waiter Issac was great! Very easy going and simple to deal with! His customer service was beyond amazing. Also Andin was great with service and very professional. To the owner thank your for great service I will back because of these two!
