I arranged a work team dinner here and the restaurant was accommodating when I requested an earlier time than my original reservation. Only downside was that the server took quite some time to come take our appetizer and drink order. And when the food came there seemed confusion on who ordered what. Otherwise, the food and drinks were great, everyone enjoyed themselved.
