    Wonderful, friendly staff. Food was excellent. And to make the evening even better enjoyed piano music by a very entertaining musician.

    The food was very good, waitresses and waiters were really friendly, the only problem I had was the print on the menu was hard to read. The piano player was very entertaining and relaxing. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend this restaurant, and I will be returning again.

    Food was very good. Good service, however it was very cold in the dining room. Very Dark too. I had to use my phone's flashlight to view the menu.
