    The best experience we have so far. The food is good. The service is relatively quick. Much better than the last few times we were there.

    We had a gift card that we had purchased before to use. They tried charging it and for some reason it didn’t work. The manager said that there is money in the card, but there is something wrong that they can’t fix and I have to find the original email that the gift card was sent to me through and contact the number on that to resolve the problem This way that so much of our time and it was very disappointing. Our waitress was great. She gets the five star.

    The food and service were great as I expected, but this was a business lunch and the restaurant was a bit noisier than I remembered it. I'll definitely go there again but not for business lunch.

    The service was phenomenal, outgoing wonderfully energetic waitress. Then we had explosion of flavors with every entree ordered. Lastly the astestics of the environment was warm and welcoming with just the right amount of flare. 5 stars.

    Most of the dishes are consistent but some are not. No matter what time you eat there it’s takes way too long to get your food.

    Kitchen was a bit busy because of Easter. We didn’t seem to mind but the chef sent out an order of meatballs. Nice touch people! See you soon. -Chef Joe
