This was the first time I went to this restaurant. The staff were all very pleasant and efficient. The food portions are huge and the quality and presentation weee outstanding. The server was on point; however, the kitchen crew failed to remove an item out of my dish. Because I spent some time removing the item, the waitress had the order remade and even bagged it to go home. All in all, I would definitely go back.
