The service was very fast and helpful. We quickly got all of our drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. The waitress was very polite and answered all the questions we had about the menu with ease and clarity. The food was delicious. We ordered the goopy burger and maltagliati. Both of which were good portion sizes for the price and had great flavor.

Went with some friends to celebrate an engagement. Food menu is diverse, and offered plenty of options, even for the one person who did not like raw fish. Over all a great experience, though a bit pricey.
