Food was tasty, service was good, we got our food in a timely manor, and the atmospher was good. Music was good and not too loud.
The ambience, food was awesome and so much in quantity. We had to make one dosh “to go” as we were already full by other items. They give chips and salsa to pass your time while waiting for appetizers and main course. This is great. We forgot to take appetizers and main course photo as we jumped onto food right away, Will visit this place again.
