" I came here last week with my family, and we were all pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was. The salt and pepper chicken wings truly lived up to their reputation.

The service, while friendly, took a while, especially for the busy schedule of a Friday night. I think I’ll give it another shot but might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)
