We were given the wrong appetizer. I had to call the attention of another staff member who quickly corrected it. I would have given a five star but this little snafu I cannot ignore.
June 2025
Restaurant clean, food served hot and right on point. Reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. Serving size was perfect. Only draw back is I didn't save room for desert. Restaurant was a bit loud at times but it did not distract from my experience.
