Excellent experience. We ate there with my kids and my parents and we all had a great time. Their kids food was amazing and they even had kids menus with crayons which is a huge plus. The adult food was even better. The pork belly and mussels were a highlight.

The food and service was very good. The only problem was that they were out of a lot of selections by 7:45 PM. We still had a good meal and beverages. Our server was wonderful. We will definitely be back.
