This place is fantastic for both goods and services, and with their rewards/loyalty program, the savings are incredible when you redeem your rewards—no questions asked. It’s simply the best! We’ve been loyal customers for over seven years and will continue to return without hesitation. A huge thanks to the chef-owner, who always greets us warmly and remembers us, making each visit special. Special praise also goes to Steven and Nora who provided excellent service and are a pleasure to chat with.
