at first we were seated by a lovely waitress, but when it came to ordering another waitress came and didn’t write down our orders which resulted in a complete stuff up for example I ordered the beef jerky salad and she returned with a squid salad, when i told her it was incorrect she rolled her eyes and seemed to gossip. Additionally DO NOT GO FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH, my friend and I who caught up over this meal had severe food poisoning, I threw up 11 times and she threw up 3 times, I am 110% sure it was a result of the food as our families who didn’t dine with us are fine and felt the sickness roughly 12 hours after dining, food was very average considering the price. Do not go un less you want to go home vomiting

Nice place for some good live music. The drinks are on point. For beer lovers the beer was crisp and fresh. Service was decent. …

The service is awesome, and I love the seating by the river with a great view. The fresh spring rolls and dipping sauce were super authentic, but the chicken noodles and papaya salad could've used more flavor.
