Really enjoyed the restaurant. The food was great, the atmosphere was calm, and the staff was very welcoming.

Was going a 2 star but my restaurant experience was good. 3 or less because the bathroom was a crap hole. Trash everywhere, dirty, dirty toilets and more. Looked like it was clean once when new. Other parts not bad.
