- CCindyHouston •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe went there for my birthday and they really made it special. The food and drinks were very good and they put a small Happy Birthday sign and ribbons on our table. Our waiter was very nice and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. He was very helpful recommending different items. And they gave us a free dessert. I think it's a great restaurant, especially for special occasions!
