I DO NOT RECOMMEND I was employed there until last night after almost two years. No one wants to work and constantly listen to hateful rhetoric about Christianity and political talk about how Venezuela and Kimmel were wronged. Hate for my President Trump ect.

No I don't recommend this place...read full review

We ate there tonight for the first time and we will be back! The food was well prepared and so full of flavor. Everything was fresh and one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed! The service was outstanding. We haven’t been able to stop talking about what a great meal we had.
