Food was amazing and was fresh. Noise was moderate, with the exception of the birthday song that required a lot of noise. Service could’ve been better. Overall the restaurant is lovely, just need to step up service and be more aware of when someone is ready to order or close their check. I’d visit again.

Very nice atmosphere! The music was great and not too loud when we first got there. As the restaurant starting filling up, the music got louder and at times was a little too loud for good quality conversation. Our waiters were wonderful! Especially Hosway!!! He was bilingual and so very helpful and polite! He made the night that much more enjoyable and seemed thoroughly pleased that we were there!
