Our dinner was quite enjoyable as we were meeting with ministers who were visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was enjoyable as we were able to speak without shouting above the noise. Also, the server Luna, was excellent. She was friendly, attentive and professional. Our visiting guests were very impressed with the venue. Most of all, the food was delicious!
