We had a reservation and still had to wait about 10 minutes even after receiving the text my table was ready. Our drinks took about 20 minutes to get to us. We were done with appetizers when the drinks arrived. Food was mediocre at best and server never once checked in.

I brought some very good friends there for a birthday celebration. I had my first experience a couple months ago, and I wanted to share that experience. We had a great time. My friends are still raving about the day we had today. We truly enjoyed the singing, the food, the fellowship and the great service received from Khai. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
