    Great atmosphere. Great move from the shopping center. The food is really good. The rib appetizer was amazing. The scallop appetizer had the perfect crust and cooked perfectly. The Schnitzel was a bit to thick but did have a nice crust. The sweet sauce topping took away from the overall dish. Schnitzel was not meant to be sweet. Ever. Our server, Julio was fantastic. Would we go back? Absolutely
