Great food and service! Delicious . The decor however is a little tired and the lighting is not attractive ( bit too glaring) so it’s a place for a local meal, not a business dinner or lunch.

Food was good. Service was excellent too but the music feels like a bar instead of a restaurant. Although there is a bar, no one sat there. The table setting like a bar type instead of the fine dining restaurant. Maybe it’s not a fine dining restaurant. If you are looking for a casual dining, this is the place.
