    Very small crowd in the restaurant at lunch but we had to wait 40 minutes for our meal. The sandwich I ordered was not good. The meat was tough. I usually have a better experience. Waiter didn’t seem to be too on top of things!

    The swordfish kebab entree was great, and like the other menu items, it was very reasonably priced.

    Great food, outstanding quality of taste, presentation, and deliciousness! Service was kind of shoddy, but the meal, timing of order to prep, and ambiance made it a good experience.
