The food and service were delicious. My colleagues and I tried this place and we were not disappointed. They only complaint is that one of my colleagues got the pickled green olives, and those olives were so salty.

I felt its over rated restaurant. It’s just average taste. Atmosphere is good n decent, but not very great. One of my friend walked in around 9:10PM n they said kitchen is closed. I was totally upset with their response. I will be here 10 more days n will do 2nd attempt.
