I love this place. My waiter was the BEST, EVER. Make sure you see the best waiter and bartender there is. He was so patient and he was great with the recommendations. He was not in a rush. I really enjoyed him today. I will be asking for EVER for now on. You will not be disappointed.

The Traveling Boss Lady loves visiting new places to experience. Market Research is the best way to recommend to clients. We came here to celebrate my sis birthday. We had so much fun and the server was keeping us on point with our drinks. My food was a little late because I was up dancing the whole time and missed it coming out but he bought me a fresh one out.

I really enjoyed the bartenders energy. He was interactive, positive and funny and real knew how to make a bomb Green Tea. The shrimp rice and cheese was delicious.
