Excellent Service

Attentive service is assured because staff serve all tables and are attentive to the needs of all patrons without being intrusive - a testament to excellent training.

More importantly the quality of the food is A-0ne. While renowned for the succulent ribs, all of the wonderful meat and seafood courses are cooked to the diner's preference and the sides are substantial, so be prepared to take away left overs.

Very nice wine list.
