Food was delicious , timer perfectly , service could’ve been a little better , I understand it was a busy night, it did feel a little crowded and bunched up , bar is VERY loud , but overall good experience , would love to go again , the food was definitely the overall winner.

Excellent service! Our waitress was super friendly and offered great service. Food was brunch on a Sunday which we really enjoyed! Downside was that the Dining Points were not quickly posted. It took 3 days to show up (Sunday to Wednesday.) I waited to write the review to make sure points showed up. Had to make a note to myself to follow-up after 7 days if restaurant "forgets" to send in approval to award the points. That's too much attention that I have to put on the job the restaurant should be handling more promptly.
