I want to share my experience that I had today is June 5. I went to eat at this restaurant as you can see my receipt, I paid full price. I don’t ask for a refund but I told the lady manager/owner that the beef on the chaufa was spoil, it tasted and smelled spoiled, also my wife was eating a crab claw and the meat was black. The owner/manager told me that the beef was black and smelled like that because it was overcooked. That’s a lie … and when it came to the crabs she said that the meet supposed to be black. I just wanted to leave this on the record in case me and my family end up at the hospital. Please be aware, again is not about paying… is about playing with people health in order to make profit. Stay away from this place.

Very good food, service was adequate. The waitress did her best to keep up with all her tables. There are lots of big screen TVs to watch the game! I would go again! The parking lot is located nearby. I found my own parking on the street before I knew they had parking.

The food was good. Our waitress was accommodating. The portions were more than adequate. Be prepared with snapple drinks and one appetizer to spend almost $50 per person with gratuities included. It was a fine experience.

This place is awesome! I recently visited this place and it’s truly a diamond in the rough. We went here with a party of five and the food came out really fast. All the food was extremely fresh and the price is amazing. The seafood is definitely their area of expertise, all amazing
