    The food and service was excellent. We just wish the music was not as loud. Not withstanding the music, we definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Tried this place for the first time and was absolutely great choice. Food amazing. Waiter was Diego cool guy and had orders correct and out in decent time during a crowded valentines day weekend. After dinner turned into a nice dance room and music was great.

    Fresh and delicious food. Super friendly service and an overall great experience - would definitely go back.  Had four people in our party and everyone absolutely loved what they had great food. Drinks could be a little stronger, wink wink.
