    The food is delicious and portions are more than adequate. Apps can easily be shared. However the service leaves much to be desired. A restaurant at this price point should have better trained wait staff. Our server reached across every one when serving and clearing plates. He was less than pleasant and appeared annoyed when we did not order drinks for all at our table.
