We were impressed by the allergy awareness and their careful stance on multiple allergies in our group. The server was excellent and food was delicious. They were also very patient and accommodating to four little children and we all had a good time. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Really unique experience with the meat being grilled at your table by staff. Food was generally very good, service was excellent, and the ambiance was fun. Our only complaint was that the price was relatively high.
