This was our second visit and service was good. Food was fabulous tasting. Prices are just right. I requested to be in a place away from a lot of noise or near larger tables occupied by families with kids since we were wanting to celebrate Valentine’s Day quietly. We were in the corner away from others only thing was we were next to the staff going in and out of the kitchen and you could hear their conversation but it was okay. Not too distracting so we did have a nice evening dinner. We will go back again.
