The food was amazing and came out pretty quickly. The waitress was attentive and friendly. The only problem I had was the perfume/cologne some of the staff were wearing. I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and found the scents distracting and cloying which kept me from enjoying my food 100%. Also the music (a live DJ) was so loud we couldn't really talk. Other than that it was a great meal.
