Wonderful lunch experience for our group of three. We neither felt rushed to order, eat nor leave. The server knew we were talking shop and left us, checking occasionally but never intruding. We were grateful to have the time and space to finish our work at hand.

A very good experience. Our waiter (Ian) was a pleasure, he understand customer satisfaction and does so with a very nice smile. Food was solid and prepared very well (sometimes the Coconut Shrimp gets overcooked, but not tonight), delightful.
