We arrived at the restaurant at 9:45 p.m., just 15 minutes before closing, but from the manager to the waitress, everyone was very professional and attentive. The food came out very quickly and was delicious. Because we were in a hurry, we forgot to ask her name. We will bring our family back here again on an earlier day. More
