    The first impression from this place is that the interior is beautiful, the design and decorations really really stand out immediately. The music and vibes inside were top tier, the service was very good. The servers were friendly, the food did take a bit to come out however there seemed to be large groups in attendance which could add to the food wait time. I would have like to see an actual menu with non alcoholic drinks and a dessert menu as well. The menu itself is very simple but has some major dishes on it. All of them delicious with their twist and flavors. Their half chicken was delicious, and the appetizers were excellent. The value itself for a place like this is in my opinion amazing, I was expecting higher prices coming in as the food and ambiance definitely screams high value dining. Overall I would definitely reccomend and would come back! P.S parking is somewhat problematic, there is a lot of construction and it’s a very busy area so you will have to park a bit further and walk to the actual restaurant so keep that in mind.

    It was super easy to find parking and the restaurant. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who confirmed our reservation and led us thusly to our table. Moments later our server likewise greeted us and perfectly timed coming back to check on us and take our orders. Food and drinks came out in a timely manner were hot, delicious, and devoured. Beautiful atmosphere and could work well for a casual dinner and visit or an impressive first date venue.

    Absolutely amazing experience! We came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond—the dessert was even on the house, which was such a sweet surprise. The food was a solid 10/10—everything we tried was delicious. I loved the ambiance and service, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable meal!
