He had about 18 people get together, and this placed delivered. They were very flexible with us and welcoming. Our food orders took a bit longer than expected to come out, but everything was delicious. The drinks were good, but I wish there were a bar menu, that would have helped with ordering. Overall we had a great experience and I would definitely come back or recommend this place during the day.
