    Huge portions, delicious food and great selection. Very fun ambience, kitschy decor and very festive at the holidays. We always have the nicest servers. It's always busy, so make a reservation.

    I’ve been here a number of times, and the food is typically good. The service is usually good as well, but this time it wasn’t. I was disappointed when I noted on the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but our server didn’t mention or acknowledge it at all.
