    A cascade of flowers and the mural paintings really grabs up when you walk in. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The kale fritters were so crunchy delicious that we were enchanted. The grilled shrimp were juicy and spicy. All the serving bowls, platters are handcrafted and unique. The meal was so well spiced and two entrees were enough for 3 people. The mango ice cream cubes were a revelation! Def worth a return visit!

    The Christmas buffet was a bit disappointing. The overall buffet food was good, but the carving station items of prime rib and turkey were extremely disappointing in comparison to the normal quality of these items on a regular day. The prime rib was served cold and the turkey was dry and overcooked. The normal high quality was definitely not there. Not even the B Team.

    The restaurant is beautiful with a cozy atmosphere. Went there twice and both times everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly and the service is wonderful. The spicy tuna nachos are my favorite. The chips are home made and the best i ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant. You wont be disappointed. Enjoy
