    Food and service was exceptional. Four of us shared three appetizers which were perfect. All of our meals came out at the same time, which is much appreciated, and were very generous portions. We then shared one dessert-because, again, the portions were huge.

    Hello, My name is Gregory, and I hosted an event for my birthday yesterday. I originally booked for six people, but it increased to eight and then ten, so they were able to accommodate me and my party. The service and beverages were excellent, and the manager was exceptional. I'll definitely be back. I hope they enjoy the scorpion cake.

    The appetizer and entree were great. Unfortunately, the desert which was the lemon cake was tough and dry. The service was great.
