It was our first visit. Reserved on Open Table.
Everyone from the bus person, the server to the valet were so nice & accommodating.
The food and drinks were delicious.
Food and drinks came out in a very timely fashion.
The restaurant was very busy and everyone was having a great time.
Very fun vibe.
The music was a little bit loud, but fun.
Not a game changer for me.
Keep up the good work! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outside of a longer than expected wait for a table with a reservation, an overall great experience! My first time here, but my wife has been here multiple times with her girlfriends. We ordered the large raw platter and everything was fresh and delicious! I'll definitely return to try the hot menu items.
