The owner is very nice and goes above and beyond for her customers. The food is fresh, hot and delicious. The portion size is quite large. My friend is a vegetarian and also has celiac and the owner made a dish to work with her dietary restrictions. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be back!

Christmas Day was hectic and of course there was a wait, the wait was worth it. Food was EXCELLENT and the family was very attentive with the chaos of the flood of customers.
