Loved this hidden gem! The food and drinks were awesome! And if you get Yaya as your waitress you won't be disappointed! She is an absolute sweetheart and made our first time there a wonderful experience!

The food/drinks/dessert are worth every bit you spend. It is hard to say that I have a favorite entree, because everything is delicious. Great service/food/atmosphere, an all around establishment worth supporting.
