Our server Swetha was the best! She explained the menu and when we ordered a dish we weren’t sure we could eat, she held off putting the order in so we wouldn’t waste the food. Pure professional and an extremely kind person. The manager was very responsive to emails also. Food was hot and fresh. I highly recommend

Their Halloween Witchy Lunch was fantastic. The dining areas were decorated with Halloween motifs. One of the cocktail had a gummy eyeball! The menu was great with wonderful tasty offerings.
