India, our server, was exceptional. Anyone who brought us food or a drink was friendly and if we asked a question or placed an additional order they were more too happy to assist. The food was wonderful. Everything we ate was exceptional. The restaurant is pretty. It was very quiet when we arrived at 6:45 with few tables occupied. But by the time we left at 8:30 it was full.
