La comida ok. Pero A pesar que hize reservación para celebrar un triple Cumpleaños poniendo nombre y el tipo de celebración, y diciéndoles que canten Happy Birthday, no lo hicieron, pedimos postre y volvimos a decirle al mesero quien nos dijo que ya venían a cantar pero solo apareció 3 veces y tuvimos que llamarlo para pedir la cuenta, decepcionada de este restaurant
January 2026
We had an event and service was great. The room we were in was a little tight. A few tables, limk the one I was at, had basically no room on one side between ours and another table. If someone needed to get up, everyone had to get up. They provided plenty of food and everyone left satisfied. The table was always full of food.

First time coming to this location and I was very impressed with the food, parking, service and atmosphere! All 5 stars! The rooms and decor looked amazing! This it's a great spot for parties, and groups of all sizes!
