Good food! Great that it was open on Christmas Eve. A little unorganized at first, probably due to the holiday. Food was great and our waitress kind. Would visit again

Great dining experience! We went to celebrate our anniversary and they didn’t disappoint. Our server (Chyna) was terrific. Great pace to the meal - amazing service - and all three phases (app, main, and dessert) were great! Worth the price 😊

The food was good, a decent menu selection. The service was average, our server seemed very new and not very attentive. This was on a Wednesday night; the restaurant was not busy. Overall it was an okay experience.
