This experience was amazing! Our server was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She took the time to walk us through the menu and explain everything in detail, which made us feel very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. I've been wanting to try this for a while, did some extensive research and this place did not disappoint at all. The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and welcoming. Despite some reviews mentioning flies, bugs, or excessive heat, we did not experience any of those issues. Everything was pleasant from start to finish. We had a great experience and will definitely be returning!
