We had one of the most pleasurable dining experiences today and wanted to come here and proclaim our good fortune. The restaurant itself is chic and ambient in decor and design, the food was authentic and delicious, and the service was an absolute knockout. Our server, Brittany L., was not only an expert on the very extensive menu, but her recommendations elevated our experience beyond our expectations and then some. Y’all get that baby corn, I’m telling you it will knock your socks off. The vibes were right, the drinks were divine, and the music was bumping. Highly recommend, thank you for the exceptional experience tonight, and thank you again Brittany, you are a rockstar.
