We had the short ribs and the flat iron steak. Calamari for the appetizer and root beer cookies for dessert. Dinner and service was good Unfortunately, there were unsupervised children playing loudly a couple of tables away. We did not see any parents throughout the entire meal. Management could not find the parents?

Busy time past 1 pm. Been there frequently but service slower than usual this time. Usual Favorite shrimp skewer was served overcook and lukewarm and was disappointing. Shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, dragon shrimp served hot and it was satisfying experience. Too bad they have no shrimp Rangoon.
