    AMAZING! Food was as always so delicious and the service was wonderful. Verfy friendly staff. I took my house guest, visiting from Japan, here for his Birthday and he LOVED it. I informed the restaurant ahead of time that we would be celebrating a Birthday and they went out of their way for him, the made a birthday tray with scoops of icecream, a candle and written Happy Birthday and his name. Then thay sang Happy Birthday. Absolutely the best experience for all of us.
