Amazing service 10/10. Jeanie was an amazing server, she went above and beyond for our table. We attended the Father’s Day brunch and she really made us very special. If you ever visit I really recommend asking for her as your server.

Amazing experience. From the host to the manager. The host (Naila) greeted us with a warm smile and seated us quickly. Our server was also amazing. And the manager also came by to see how we were doing. Every time we come it’s always a pleasant experience.

Our server Naila was amazing. Tuesdays are a great day to come dine in. We got a table side guacamole and it was made perfectly. The manager was also bringing out the food for the servers when they got a little too busy. Pros to the manager because I saw her in the front helping out guests to bringing out food as well as cleaning tables. The service here is amazing.
