Reasonably priced but needs some patience to get the orders placed and the food come to the table. Waiters are friendly but looks like understaffed. After all we still enjoy the evening.

They stayed open and the service was exceptional as was the food. No one rushed us and they were super sweet and very helpful. Exactly what you expect from an upscale restaurant. We have never dined in but frequently order their food for takeaway. We were very impressed and will definitely go back.
