“ Ive been here a few times now. Service always with a smile. Food never takes awhile. Value is like a new style. Although this place is geared towards multiple guests dining together, I have always gone solo. It can be pretty pricey for the menu items because they are meant to be shared but I save this for when Im really hungry and splurge a little because its so good. ”
