The food is always amazing. We had an especially helpful server who made sure we were in a more private area to celebrate a birthday. He made sure he brought Candles, and they sang for my girlfriend which was requested, I believe his name was Dan. he went out of his way to make sure everything went as we hoped. The only thing we noticed was there was a table of ladies at the other end of the Cafe, who were talking extremely loud so my girlfriend and I had to sit side-by-side to hear each other because they were getting too loud.
