    Our experience at the restaurant was mostly positive. The service was excellent—our server was courteous, allowing us to enjoy our time without feeling rushed. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the drinks were top-notch. The pricing felt completely justified given the quality of both the cuisine and the overall experience. However, I can’t give a full five-star rating due to a couple of unsettling moments. Upon arrival, there was noticeable tension between the gentleman at the hostess stand and the staff, which created an uncomfortable first impression. Additionally, as we were preparing to leave, an employee abruptly stormed into the kitchen, yelling loudly as though a serious altercation had occurred. Considering the state of the world today, the situation felt alarming and slightly tainted an otherwise enjoyable visit.
