    The staff remembered what I visited last year. I was very happy. All the dishes were delicious, and there were many kinds of alcohol. I was able to have a good meal and a good space while watching the fireworks on Friday. The staff remembered my physical condition, and I wanted to do my best to treat and visit again.

    Dined here twice within a week; service, food, presentation and value were all great. Loud on a Saturday - difficult to fear the vocalist, on a Thursday, just loud. Beautiful venue, noisy, too low patio chairs sort of ruin the vibe.
