The atmosphere, food, and, service were on point! Jason, the chef, came and spoke with us. Incredibly kind and such a great story. I’d recommend this for friends, family, dates, whatever the occasion. They have easily shareable plates. 100% ordering the popcorn chicken and wagyu sandwich every time I come back. Outstanding flavor on everything. - Eva B
