The music and singing were too loud. I couldn't have a conversation with my fellow diners. I will not return on a Thursday. The food was excellent, however, the the entertainment diminished the dining experience.

The food was outstanding and our server was very attentive and checked on us the "right" amount of times. We ate on the covered outside pavilion which was an added plus. Will definitely be back with friends!

A busy night! We had 4 for dinner - lots of small plates to share - all came out hot and perfect. Lots of variety and great tastes. Don’t miss the seafood paella!
