    Service was slow to start but terrific after that. Food was great. Tables and menu’s were very sticky and felt dirty which detracted from our otherwise positive experience.

    The original table they gave us was near a very noisy group. We moved to a different table which was somewhat better. Service could have been better. Food was generally good.
