    The food,service and atmosphere was great The only problem is seating and reservations As a first time customer with a reservation my party of 10 still had to wait 45 minutes to be seated Also on the abb it asked was was the occasion and I replied Engagement brunch and I asked if there's a special dessert that was offered and the responds was was not Appealing. You could tell that the owner was not ready for that request . Need to work on reservations and turning tables Put some thought in special occasions complementary dessert

    We order the chicken skins and you could taste the grease that they were cooked in and they didn’t have any flavor. Our other food was good but not great.

    The service was great.We had a party of 18 people and our orders were taken immediately and our food was delivered in a timely, organized fashion. The food was delicious and artistically plated. Everyone enjoyed their food. The owner came out , greeted and introduced himself to each table. It was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back !!

    Was pleasantly surprised that the father of the owner came by our table twice to check on us. It was a very nice gesture.
