Not sure why this place doesn't have more stars! We were there for Thanksgiving and the food was great! Amy and her staff were quick and sweet. I guess my only thing would be that it was a little loud inside, but not terrible. We...Read More

Everything we got was delicious! Service was great, food was great quality, and location is awesome. Right outside the Hyatt regency and it’s downstairs. We even came back a second time to get the honey walnut shrimp that’s to die for. Highly recommend.
