Good food and service. Lots of choices. My only issue is that 3% service fee. When are these restaurants going to get rid of it??

Came here for a business lunch and we were given the private room in the back but shared it with another party that was wildly over the top loud. There's nothing to absorb the noise so it was just reverberating loud the whole time. The food was fine and the staff friendly, but I wouldn't come here again for anything work related. Some sound dampeners might help.

This was a great option near our hotel. We had a few extras beyond our original reservation and they allowed us to use one of the private dining rooms which was perfect for our international group. The choices of food items was accommodating for all of our guests and there was a selection of fun cocktails and other beverages. Highly recommend.

Good food but a bit pricey for for lunch. Service was a little slow and it was noisy. Still, I’d recommend if you’re looking for a place to eat for a group due to the wide variety of menu options and good food.
