We had a party of 10 with two birthdays. We had lots of "special requests" in our order. Some folks didn't want onions, some folks didn't want mushrooms, that one person wanted shrimp fried rice instead of chicken. Our server, Jenna, and our chef (did not get his name) handled it all smoothly and with aplomb! Evening was a blast, food was delicious! One more item to note, we got to see a new "trick" we had not seen before. After the onion volcano, when the flames had dies down, our chef twirled the onions on his fork. This kicked up steam and he warned about a tornado. Very cool!
