The hostess was kind of rude. She was pretty snarking in telling us that we cannot be seated until the full party arrived

Really excellent food with large portions. It was served quickly but not too quickly and didn’t have to wait for the check. It is loud and the tables are tight. I prefer to sit outside during the summer but no choice during winter.
