The service here was very slow. We had to ask multiple times to pay and there was a long wait on ordering and getting our food. I wouldn’t mind but it was not busy at that time. However, the food was nice and well presented and the staff were helpful. I also liked the vibe and atmosphere. Meal type: Dinner
