Food is amazing. Staff can be more patient, nice & helpful explaining the menu when asked by other then that our waiter was very consistent with checking on us very often, and made sure she cleared the empty dishes, and she made sure we were satisfied the entire service. The place is such a vibe. I will make sure I’m there every pay check ! Lol

The food was great, but they were very short of staff. They only had 2 waitresses who were also the bartenders and were responsible for cleaning the tables. They did a great job, but we were there from 5:30 to 7:45. Too long for a meal.
