    Manager was awesome. We were in a time crunch. He made sure we had our drinks etc. Server expedited things too. The best salad I’ve had ever, so fresh and light. Swordfish slightly overcooked and extremely salty. My husbands meatballs were great, not too salty. The complimentary hummus was delicious. Great overall. Service fantastic.
