    Food was good, service poor. Took one and a half hours before we were served our food. Very noisy. Acknowledging that it was a holiday did not appreciate the large surcharge.

    Celebrated my wife’s birthday there, and everything was wonderful. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic. They even had a live singer performing, which added a lovely touch to the evening.
