The staff from the hostess to the waitress to the manager treated us like royalty. Our first time there and we can’t wait to go back. It looked to me that they really want everyone to be happy and satisfied. I’ll tell you this from experience there aren’t many restaurants that take care of their customers like this. A+ all the way.
