We had a very good experience overall! The food was amazing, exceeding our expectations in both flavor and presentation. The reservation and check-in process were smooth and efficient, making for a great start to our visit. Our waiter was polite and attentive, but it was clear they were stretched very thin. While the restaurant wasn’t full, the food took longer than expected to arrive, leading us to assume there may have been a staffing challenge. Despite the slight delay, the quality of the meal and the overall experience made it well worth the visit. We would definitely return!
