Great fun night x totally recommend
Great time! Always fun! ☮️💎🎼👑
Music and service were amazing. The waiter was from Brazil and was very hospitable! The bartender was sweet and the ambience was a vibe! We had the pork chops and fish. Seasoned well. Food was a little pricey and they close early at 9pm, 10pm would be better but I definitely would return!
