It was a great experience, the restaurant was at full capacity. It took our server a long time to come to our table, but the executive chef noticed and she came to help us. Kudos to the restaurant’s management! I was very pleased with the experience.

Kalin what is wonderful and kept all of our requests and his mind and quickly presented. We were surprised how busy it was, but the staff was efficient and they knew how to handle all the tables. There were five in our group. We all ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our dinners. We will go back!
