The service needs to be a little better especially when there is a large group present. We had to request things several times so that we could get them from the Waitresses. The food was so delicious. It was very tasty. The drinks could be much better.

Great atmosphere, food and service. The ladies were amazing, the only issue was the guy that works there put our specially made cake on the stove. By the time we noticed, there was a huge cracks in it! The ladies did a great job of fixing it as best they could. All in all everyone had a great time and the cake was just a blip.
