    Love this place and will be back for the food and the vibes. But jeez, you need more waiters. Everytime it is quick shocking how long it takes to just get someone’s attention. You will sell a lot more booze as well if you’re waiters are there to take orders. Still love everything else. And service isn’t bad, just nonexistent
