I had a delightful server named Jay. He was polite and helpful. The restaurant and restroom was nice and clean. Very welcoming! The food was very fresh and good. I was very impression with the serving size and flavor. The only thing I was not 100% happy about is they did not have a dessert to offer. I definitely will return. I highly recommend this place.
