It was great! I celebrated my birthday with a big group of friends, and despite the problem with the kitchen, they still delivered the food swiftly. It tasted amazing and the vibes were fantastic. Although my friend group were quite loud and also maybe a little disturbing as we were playing games while waiting for the food, the employees never yelled at us or anything. I definitely would come again as my experience was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for the great customer service!
