I enjoyed my experience here the only reason for the missing stars was due to initial confusion that I noticed with the staff. Upon arrival our table wasn’t ready due to a party ahead of us no big deal, however when I ordered my food one of my entrees was not put in and was forgotten about. They fixed the issue quickly which I appreciated. Overall good experience.
