Everyone was nice and food was great. Perfect place for friends, family, fun, and events. Bottles of water will throw you off a bit though. We enjoyed the Mimi Tower, Lost Weekend Skillet, Chicken and Waffles.

Amazing food and great ambiance. The servers came by often to give us new plates and silverware. We had the octopus sopecitos, lamb biriyani, chai and rasmali tres leches cake and they were all so delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
