We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday which happened to be Valentine’s Day hoping to order from regular menu but they only had a Valentine’s Day special that we had to order from which we were not made aware of when we booked. It was pricier than what we would have spent and not the food we would have ordered. However it was all very good and service was great.
