We had a party of four on a Thursday night and the restaurant was mostly empty except for a large birthday party in a semi private area. Our server Carla was very attentive with checking up on us occasionally to see if we needed anything. She was also attentive in refilling the water glasses. The taste and temperature of the food was excellent. We were quite full after our main meal and kindly declined dessert. Overall it was a great experience and dinner.
