    Our server Michelle was very attentive to our needs, keeping us continuously updated on our orders and manicuring our table each time she stopped by. Food came out fast and cooked to perfection. Lobby music was a tad louder than we’d have preferred, especially in combination with cooking sounds from the dining room. Otherwise everything was a ten. Will be coming back!
