Service was great! Fast, friendly, upbeat, and attentive! The food was amazing! We had 3 appetizers (Beef Samosas, Firecracker Shrimp, and Sweet Chili Wings), and all had the Rasta Pasta with Shrimp as our entree. All so yummy! The drinks were really good as well! The place offers Hookah for $45 dollars, which was good too! Will definitely be going again for another girl’s night!

I went for the Paint and Sip. It was probably the funniest thing I have done in a very long time. I went with a few friends, and we couldn't stop laughing. Everyone interacted with each other and I was talking to people I've never met before. We ordered food, that was delicious, ordered drinks that were so good and literally had the best time. I cannot wait for them to have another one.
