Jacob was our waiter. Lovey man spoke to us very nicely in English. His service was outstanding, he was super friendly and helpful and it was a pleasure to come across such a lovely person. The food. 10/10 I would highly recommend, tasty, fresh and good portions. Location is lovely, restaurant is clean, overall just a great vibe. If we return to the area we will be sure to revisit this spot for food.
