Had a great experience from start to finish. Warm welcome on arrival the the waitress was very helpful explaining the menu to make sure we didn’t order more food than we can eat. All staff very attentive throughout and the food was outstanding. Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely head back soon. Even when asking to pay the bill we did not have to wait long to get it and pay it. Great work from all the staff you really made it an enjoyable experience.
