    I wish they hadn’t have seated us downstairs - I didn’t even know there was a downstairs and it was so dark and cave like. The upstairs was bright and cheerful! I will definitely be requesting upstairs from now on!

    Food was delicious and brought out quickly, but I had to get my waitress’s attention pretty much every time I needed something which was annoying.

    A great place. If you are not real hungry, ask for the ala carte menu.
