    My friend and I really enjoyed our dining experience. Our waitress Victoria was friendly and serviced us with a smile and our food was delicious made by Chef Andre we even had ample amount of food to carry home for the next day, which is always great in my opinion. All in all I do recommend and we will return .

    We had a reservation on a Friday evening. Unfortunately, we were not seated until about 25 mins past are our time. They don’t seat people in order, but only by table size. We had a reservation for 3, which could not be seated at a table for 4. There are barely a handful of tables for 2 with a chair pulled up. The place was packed with people waiting inside I front of the door. There is no microphone used to call table names. So if you don’t hear you name you miss your place. Twice I saw someone at the desk that was also waiting say they would take the table and they were seated. The table checks got mixed up and we were incorrectly charged for the check to top the night off. The food was good. I would like twice about going around me show time. They don’t honor reservation times, it depends on size of table available. Waitstaff clearly overworked.

    Service was great. Food came out quick. Extensive menu with something for everyone and food was good and big portions. Very crowded without a waiting area so individuals standing between tables. Bathroom lines. Felt rushed at end to leave.

    Great time with family and friends. We were there during Christmas season and it was very crowded but they handled it well.

    Much worse than previous visit… Daughter’s meal came about 12 minutes after mine, and was overcooked and had to be sent back. Very slow service, could not get a drink refill. Also, they really need to figure out the waiting room situation… There’s absolutely nowhere to wait when you come in, we waited almost 20 minutes even though we had a reservation.

    Although the diner is packed, the matre D does a great job of moving people through. The wait staff is excellent and keeps up admirably with this very busy diner. Food was great-just as you’d expect from a diner.
