    The food was excellent. We have been there 3 times and the food has always been great. Unfortunately the service was not very good. It took about 40 minutes for the waitress to even ask us if we wanted to order food. It was busy but other tables ordered and got food much quicker - I just think our waitress was not properly trained or not cut out for the job. The place is very loud - hard to hear people at your table talk.
