We were given a private table in the back room since we requested a round table due to a member of our party with special needs. The service, food, and ambiance were all excellent.

    The wait was long but the Latino Male Host was so nice and accommodative that it made up for the wait. His customer service was awesome! He really made our experience eating there and enjoyable one! We also had a great waiter. I will definitely be back with more friends!
