While we enjoyed our experience here and the food was tasty, it was very evident that providing service with care was not our waiter’s priority. The other associates, however, were much friendlier and really seemed to care. I would strongly recommend that our waiter receive additional training in order to meet restaurant standards. If others could not speak to their previous experiences there, I would definitely not return.

Great food and a fair serving size for the price. If I’m extra extra hungry I may go elsewhere for better value. The coconut cake is legendary, you must get it. Drinks are fine but that’s not what I’m after when visiting here. Solid food, consistent every time.
