The restaurant gets very busy during meal times and weekends, but the staff are experts in providing excellent service and being friendly. The waiters always make time to answer any questions, even when they are feeling stressed, and they make you feel like the most important person in the restaurant. The chefs consistently prepare dishes exactly as requested and they are always visually appealing. Additionally, they offer a variety of healthy options to accommodate different dietary needs.

Come for the food and atmosphere but don't expect great service.
