    This was my first time coming here and it was great. We definitely had a great time, it was cozy in roomie, there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the vibes were just very pleasant. The food was delicious, everything we had was great. The server was attentive and checked in timely. I’ve already shared this location as a new place to go with my coworkers and we will definitely be coming back next month to celebrate another birthday.
