I went yesterday. The food was really good. I wind up getting grilled lamb chops and the spaghetti noodles. I did eat inside there was not no weight or anything no long lines, but the only thing I say is the inside needs to be set up and cleaned and a way that if someone wants to eat inside they can or they feel comfortable too other than that everything was really good. The person that served me was nice.
