Great food, including several vegetarian-offerings, served quickly by an attentive-staff. The only real detractor was the music was overly-loud, which made conversation somewhat difficult, however, overall, this was a pleasant visit.
August 2025
2 extra people joined our party last minute and the people working there understood and accommodated us really quickly. We didn’t have to wait long for food even though there was 10 of us. The food was delicious and the menu had a variety of options. Our server was also patient and understanding.
