Max Aronow
The servers were very kind but they were very understaffed for labor day weekend … it took about an hour and a half or longer from start to finish. But we had good company so we were patient. Food was good … some of it came out cold but by the time it reached our table we were so hungry we ate it without complaint. I give the whole experience 4 stars

Great food, great service! Wanted to sit outside and they were happy to set up a table and umbrella for us. Takes a bit long for a work lunch, but I’d certainly go back.

We had my daughter’s bridal shower there. Everything was perfect, the food , the setting and the service. The food was absolutely delicious. The owner, Elis was awesome from the day I booked the event last summer until today. Every server was kind and attentive and made the day even better. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next event or just a great meal.

We came here for a nice dining experience and there was a private party suprise bday party right next to us with about 40 people. It was VERY VERY LOUD and the people would encroach on our dining experience. It was so inappropriate to have a private party when others are trying to have a nice dining experience. And manager was not understanding of our concerns. Very very disappointed!!!

I use to work here for over 4 years. I loved my job and I would give anything to go back. I miss the food and the customers who I formed great relationships with. I miss them and I miss serving here. I will continue to pray that I can get my job back, until then I will always wish them the best.
