    Everything was fantastic. Only in my opinion and that of my family, the music was too loud for a restaurant.

    Service needs to tighten up. Servers were very pleasant but lots of gaps and mistakes.

    Great food, amazing service. And really cool vibes. It is very very loud inside - so not the best spot for conversation, families, or catching up: but a fantastic spot for fun.
