Came on a day the staff was very forthright that would take a little longer for the food to come out, my group had a great time and didn’t even notice the delay. Service was attentive and food was delicious.

We ate breakfast and enjoyed the meal. The serving size was generous so we were able to share. While the service was less than attentive (no one checked on us during our meal), everyone was polite.
