    The lamb pita was quite good as were the crispy potatoes and slaw. The food was very slow to arrive and we believe the dish was sitting out a while before coming to us as the food was tepid at best.

    This was my second visit to the restaurant and it was a party of 12. Due to the size and when I submitted my reservation they were able to put me in a private room. Our server was pleasant and very accommodating since this was a gathering to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 87th birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the restaurant allowed us to bring a cake which our server added candles went it was time to sing Happy Birthday. Overall my dining experience was a hit.

    I absolutely love the server we had. She was phenomenal in every way. She also for the first time in close To 40 visits she told me about the rewards Program. Her name started with S and she wore glasses. She was incredible. I will be there Saturday for my daughter’s birthday with a bigger party. I hope I get her again. Good was great and ambiance amazing as Usual.
