    Pretty good experience. Was there with a group of 8. Most of the group was happy with the food. Many food choices and several tasty appetizers. The service was very good. Overall not a bad experience. The restaurant is attached to a hotel and is a little hard to find but not a big deal. I would recommend and probably return.

    The food was very good, and the wait staff very attentive. FYI...GPS may lead you to the hotel entrance instead of the restaurant entrance.
