    I really enjoyed my time there, me and my son enjoyed the food and the waiter I had was such a sweetheart. I can’t spell his name but he is Belarusian and he had so much patience with me and all my questions. I hope to go again soon and have him as my server again ❤️

    We love this place. That’s why we keep coming back. It’s always amazing. Nara was awesome, first time we have had her as a server and you know what I’ll ask for her by name next time she’s just so fun and so bubbly she just made our whole experience incredible so I’m really appreciative of that. I get it sometimes having two people versus having a table of 20 might seemlike not worth it because of the money but she made us feel valued, even though we weren’t such a large party, and didn’t ignore us for the large party! Little things like that are very appreciated, and I hope it reflected in my tip
