    The food was OK that’s not worth the hype. The place is really nice. The customer service is good, but the food was really OK and way overpriced.

    Fantastic place with friendly servers and staff. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere, complete with great music, makes for a truly enjoyable experience. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners, George and Eric, who were incredibly attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
