Great spot to hang out at. Staff and bartenders have been very friendly and personable. We love coming there! Mya and Alina are very attentive and helpful. Great for groups or alone. Check it out at some point!

I love the taste of the food here. Service is always attentive, quick, and with a smile that makes you want to come back. My only complaint is that when we wanted a pizza box to take home leftovers we were charged for the box. Unheard of anywhere else so haven't been there since that shock, as I was going almost every week until that happened. Music is so loud it is hard to have a relaxing meal and conversation.

We hosted my father in law’s 60th birthday celebration. There is a room available and it’s spacious, right as you enter the restaurant to your left. For convenience this space has a separate entrance and our guests complimented the size and layout. Our bartenders and bus boy were very attentive. I’m particular with how communication is relayed in the service industry and they met all
my marks. Down to a gentleman opening the doors for me as I brought in my decorations....
