Called on Wednesday of Easter week and enjoyed an excellent meal! Service was great and meals arrived in a timely fashion despite it being very busy. Food was delicious with very generous portions. Have eaten here a few times recently and every time had an excellent meal…thought it was time I left a review to recommend to others!
