We went just after noon on a Saturday. Based upon previous experience passing the restaurant we expected to have to wait. Thankfully we were seated immediately. Our server Diamond was quite attentive and got our drinks quickly, took our orders. We were pleasantly surprised that she checked on us frequently until our meal was ready. The food came out hot and was absolutely delicious. Amazing food and service. It seemed almost impossible but they were incredible. We will be returning and recommending this as a spot to visit.
