We booked for lunch and we were not disappointed at eating, as it offered a good quality for lunch menu. it is a busy place, so would suggest booking in advance. we would give another star, but we had a problem with the Bailey coffee we order as the latte done more than half with froth, over stretching milk a liquid of bailey with about quarter cup milk, while was froth, was brought to his attention, but was told to them a latte ordered a pity, but would eat again.

This place really surprised me. nothing on the menu screamed I must try, but I decided to get the specials and the aromen were amazing. I have a black shell with gray rice and a sweetpatty that I can't remember the names, but both were really good. my man even liked the sweet patty. the service was amazing and so courteous.

We made a reservation for lunch and were pleased with the food, which featured generous portions and high quality on the lunch menu. Since it’s a busy place, I recommend booking in advance. We would have given it an extra star, but we did encounter a problem with the Bailey's coffee we ordered. The latte was filled mostly with froth; it seemed that the milk was over-frothed, resulting in just a small amount of liquid Bailey's with about a quarter cup of milk, while the rest was all froth. When we brought this to their attention, the response was simply that we had ordered a latte. It's unfortunate, but overall, we would definitely return to dine again.

I was truly surprised by this restaurant. At first glance, nothing on the menu particularly stood out to me, but I decided to try the specials, and I was blown away by the flavors. I ordered a pork dish that came with Earl Grey rice and a vegetable patty, the name of which escapes me, but both were delicious. Even my husband enjoyed the vegetable patty. The service was exceptional and incredibly accommodating.
