The dining experience fell short of expectations. Waitress was nice and efficient, however, the food quality was subpar, resulting in significant disappointment, especially given our intention to celebrate a birthday with a neighborhood restaurant.

The food was perfect, simply delicious, the chef did great. Our server was a bit distracted, kept forgetting stuff and brought our apps just as the food was coming out. Refills have to be requested and still took long to get them. Kid-friendliness: Yes Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
