    The restaurant is nice looking and the food is good but attracts large crowds of poorly dressed tourists that don’t mind dining in a T-shirt and baseball hat. Not my idea of a nice dinner on a Saturday night. If you don’t like children’s birthday parties and people taking endless selfies, stear clear of this restaurant.
