The atmosphere was electric at this joint on the Friday night that i came! I was served by a young man named Charlie who had great customer service and gave me all the food and drink on time and in a correct manner. This night was on par with the birth of my son. If i could do it out of 10 stars, id give him a 6, 7 out of 10. Great service! Amazing Job!
