This was an excellent experience. The service was outstanding, and the food was simply delicious. The restaurant was not too busy, so our food came out quickly. It seemed as if it prepared for a larger crowd as our table was right against another table instead of spreading us out. Nonetheless, they were not loud, so we both had great visits.
