    The food and drinks were truly incredible, and the energy in the restaurant was amazing. We sat outside and there were dancers throughout the night which was a really cool entertainment experience. My one annoyance was the overall service level. I don’t know if they were understaffed, or over busy, but it was just very slow. Definitely don’t want to be rushed - but we waited a longggg time to do anything, and then had a drink not show up until we asked for it 3 times. So, that was a small damper. Overall, this place was amazing. Definitely recommend it and would love to come back.
