We enjoyed our meal and the service. It’s a trendy location with parking nearby. The only negative was the amount of gnats flying around.

The decor is old like still from the 90s resembled a nail salon with all the fake butterflies and fake flowers. Bathrooms were dirty, toilets not washed in some time. However we had a wonderful server, food was good and they celebrated my daughter’s bday with a teddy bear and real rose. For five people to do all the courses the bill was over $500 and took about three hours. Fun was had and memories made.
