    The staff was great! We brought along a framed picture of our friend who couldn’t celebrate with us, and when asked we responded “don’t worry he’s not dead, just in prison”, the waiters didn’t ask any further questions. We all had a good laugh over it, and we hope the staff did too! But the food and service was amazing as always. We even had fun with trivia night, even though we didn’t participate. We will come back again soon! (Maybe with our friend who was “framed”… that was a joke if you didn’t get it…)

    We had a great time here! Waitstaff was attentive, but not pushy. We enjoyed the time together. Food was excellent. Look out for half price drinks on Mondays! But beware, their large plates are LARGE!
