There were 4 of us and we all said the music was very loud, too loud for friends who wanted to catch up. We asked the waiter if he could possibly lower it and within seconds it was done. If that doesn’t say a lot about customer service I don’t know what does! All of our food was very tasty and plentiful; service was very friendly and attentive; and we all took half of our meal home. We were all too full for dessert. This is a great restaurant with great food and great service!!
