    I wasnt sure what to expect this close to Place Bell as this restaurant is very nice looking and I was concerned it might be too expensive. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the prices and selection on the menu. We were a group of 4 people and each of us had a tremendous meal and were pleased with the welcome we received, the taste of the food and the incredible service. I would definitely recommend this place.
