The food and service were excellent, and we really enjoyed our meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the staff who served us were attentive and professional. The only reason I’m not giving a perfect rating is because the host wasn’t very welcoming when we arrived. We also had to wait to be seated because two members of our party hadn’t arrived yet, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time. Aside from that experience at the front, the rest of the visit was great. I would definitely come back for the food and overall service.
