Great eating friendly good food
Had a wonderful time. Food and service was great.
I was a little nervous to go here for the first time based off of some of the reviews. We had a wonderful experience here for my 37th birthday. I took my two kids (ages 9 and 7), husband and my parents. Everybody enjoyed their food. Portions were very generous. The food was cooked well. All the staff were very attentive and did a great job. We would all definitely come back here. It was a great experience!
