First time doing a larger group; booth style tucked in a far corner worked great. Service, food and drinks on point. Better to have a plan going in (ie: check menu, etc) as opposed to doing it, especially for first timers.

The service is phenomenal! Our server is always checking on us to make sure we have everything we need. Of course the food is outstanding as always. Never fails! Although the place can get pretty loud and noisy so that we just eat and not linger but overall it’s a very good place for food and gatherings!
