    This was the best service I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant. I reserved a table for family (15 people) and on arrival, to our surprise they had set up a private room, which was amazing. The manager kept checking in on us, making suggestions, informing us about the specials. The service was incredible. The food was amazing, my cousins and I do this thing where we order different dishes and share the food, all of the dishes we ordered were amazing. I will definitely be coming back.
