This was our second time visiting this restaurant. The first was for a group function, and having enjoyed everything about that visit, we made it a priority to return. We were not disappointed. The entire experience was amazing: the food, service, and ambiance were on point. Met the owner; very warm and friendly... a great guy! We will definitely be returning!!

This was my third visit in recent months. I think the food, service and ambiance were great. Price, a little high but nowadays all restaurants are the same. The only thing I couldn’t understand was the size and the design of the printed menu. It is confusing. They better redesign it and make it more user friendly.
