Great experience and customer service, we arrived early and the hostess had no issue seating us promptly. Food and drinks were delicious, water was always topped up and drinks refreshed if asked. The staff was very attentive and contributed to a great atmosphere.

We ate breakfast and enjoyed the meal. The serving size was generous so we were able to share. While the service was less than attentive (no one checked on us during our meal), everyone was polite.
