We had the calamari as an app. Different from the usual and very delicious! I’m glad our waiter Rob recommended it to us. We celebrated our engagement and Rob gave us a nice gift ☺️. Thank you. I am so happy with Robs service as well as Jasmine making sure that our meal was to our liking. Everything was great. Bathrooms are clean too. Staff were pleasant (even those that didn’t serve us). And the cheesecake 👌🏾 I recommend and will come again. - Symya Johnson
