    We ate here to celebrate a birthday. From the time we walked in we received excellent service. The host, wait staff and bartender were very friendly and attentive. The food looked amazing and tasted even better, very flavorful and delicious! Ordered dessert and my flan came wraith a candle and the waitstaff sang happy birthday which was a nice surprise. We will definitely eat here frequently!
