The food & service was great! Our server was very friendly & the food came out fairly quickly. My only gripe is that the portion size was a little small for the price, & I left a little hungry still. Additionally, our server took a while to come back to our table to give us our check. I believe we were sitting around for 30 minutes after finishing eating.

Staff was super friendly. Food was OK, but took more than an hour to get done. The band playing was nice. Even after they left, the environment was still very noisy.

je suis passé au resto hier. franchement c'était pas mauvais mais je m'attendais à mieux. le service était un peu long & le plat manquait un peu de goût. par contre l'endroit est sympa & assez calme. peut être que j'ai juste pas choisi le bon menu, mais je sais pas si j'y retournerai bientôt
