This place had nice plating that was traditional! The pomfrets were silver from India instead of the less tasty yellow variant. Need to come back and try more! Pros: well grilled and good flavor Cons: little pricey Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Value: 4/5
OMG the fish and shrimp here is so good! My mom and I came here on a busy Sunday lunch hour. The food and customer service were worth the wait. Even with a 15min wait the time went by fast and we were promptly seated, order taken and our order came FAST. The owner was there talking to guests and making sure the whole restaurant was working flawlessly. The servers and support staff were fast and efficient as well. They were all working together to clean the tables to seat the next guests and take orders. I loved watching everyone work together and while I enjoyed all the delicious dishes. I really like spicy and savory shrimp and fish. I specifically looked up Kerela food on my yelp search to find this place. We tried the king fish and pomfret thali and prawn kebabs. Everything was delicious and fresh. I will definetly be coming back and recommend this place to savory seafood lovers.
Authentic Goan/Maharashtrian seafood fare. Better than any other I've been to. They have specials during dinner which you should try! We got their Surmai rava fry, Pomfret masala (daily special), pandhara rasa and another fish curry with steamed rice - loved them all. Took us back to the coastal fish we had in India. Highly recommend if you're craving good home-style Konkan seafood. Service is very efficient and attentive. They were quick to seat us even though the place was basically packed on a Friday night at 9.30pm. The ambience is casual dining where the food takes center stage. Parking is available outside the restaurant.
4.5/5 stars rating! Specializing in Indo-Chinese cuisine and def did not disappoint. You know it's good when you are only southeast asian eating here LOL. Rava Fish Fry ($19.99) 9/10 OHHHH this was delicious! So flavorful and seasoning was on point, the fish wasn't too dry and it paired so well with the green sauce it came with. I really wanted to try the paplet fish fry so I gotta get that next time I come. Garlic Burnt Fried Rice + Egg ($17) this was also so bomb, they gave us a side of sichuan sauce on the side and it was super spicy, so use to your liking! This was a perfect mix of Chinese fried rice and biryani that's how I would describe it. I could eat this whole bowl if I could, paired so well with the fish as well! Service was good and everyone was super nice. It's def an unassuming restaurant in a tucked away plaza on Lawrence, and glad I was able to try!
Nice ambience and authentic Maharashtrian flavors. The king fish was fresh and most of the Surmai Thali was good, although the Sol Kadhi was a bit too sour. The biggest issue is the price. Two thalis with extra rice and roti cost almost $90, and the portions were fairly small. Worth trying once for the authentic food, but the pricing definitely needs some reconsideration.
Being on my list for a long time, we finally got to try this out. On a Friday evening we got there just before rush hour and were seated promptly. Service was very quick and the servers were attentive. Food was amazing. Ambience was good too. We got the Surmai Thali, shrimp thali and the Special Thali. All were great. Would have skipped the tomato Saar if that was an option. Pandhara and Tamda Rassa were a huge hit. Mutton was perfectly cooked and tasty. Rice flour Bhakri was the best I have ever tasted in US. Dessert options were a little disappointing. Would have love Ukadiche Modak or Puran Poli or Gul Poli offered to give a more Maharashtrjan effect. Next time more dessert options please.
This place transported me back to Mumbai!! We got here around 8 pm on Friday and were able to snag the last few tables, their menu has all the seafood options you would find in a Konkani restaurant. The restaurant has a simple ambience, the star of the show is clearly their food. I would highly recommend getting one of the thalis, it comes with fried fish, curry, dal, rice and kadi. I got the prawns thali and my husband got the paplet thali. They were both so delicious. We though the portion size was great for the price. I wish I lived closer so I could visit this place more often!
As someone that grew up in Mumbai and lives in Denver, I really appreciate good seafood. Surmai was one such place we were excited to visit during our week long stay in SF. We tried many things - majority of the items we tried were good. I got the surmai thali and I loved how fresh and soft the rice bhakri was. The solkadhi was so authentic. The surmai was good but I wished it was a bit fresh, the flavors were good though. My husband got the pomfret fry and that was good. We got the crab masala and the masala was so hottt but so tasty! Overall, I really enjoyed my meal here and hoped the fish would be fresh. Service was good.
Ahh I really wanted to love this place but I felt like the flavors just weren't hitting. I got the Triple Schezwan Fried Rice with egg which came with a side of Manchurian Gravy which I was very excited about since Gobi Manchurian is my favorite dish. My partner got the pomfret fish fry thali. However, similar to another review, I felt like they were just a little too spicy and also had a strange bitter aftertaste, almost like it was slightly burnt. The egg on top was a little bland and didn't really go with the rest of the dish (which also had egg mixed into the rice). The manchurian gravy was great on it's own (borderline a little too spicy but I feel like that is the manchurian way) but mixed with everything else was weird. I didn't taste anything Schezwan in the fried rice. Service and ambiance wise was honestly great. Everyone was very nice! I also loved the decor and the water pitcher + matching glasses that they had at every table.
For people that want to try different kind of Indian food this is the place! This is coastal region food from the west of India. Order fish thalis (platters), fried fish entrees and appetizers. We have been here several times, this time we got triple schezwan fried rice and fried prawns (Kolambi fry). Triple schezwan fried rice with chicken - was close to the authentic taste one will find in Mumbai. Chicken manchurian served on the side was succulent, well spiced, garlicky and a perfect compliment. Rice and noodles mix was tasty as well. The best of the lot was fried prawns - 8 good sized prawns coated with dry spices and rice flour and sooji (cream of wheat) coating. juicy, succulent inside and perfectly crispy on the side. The chutney served with was fresh! and not one of those been sitting around chutneys that just taste stale. Thank you!
The food is so delicious. There are so many choices on the menu. I had to limit myself and promise myself I'd return to try other options. There was plenty of seating but there was also a line. Naturally because the food and service is top notch. There is plenty of parking in a lot just outside of the restaurant. In addition to returning to Surmai, I am excited to try their sister restaurants: Puranpoli, Solkadhi and Frankie.
We really wanted to love this place but the fried fish was not fresh, and way too fishy. It threw off the whole meal for me. The coconut side dish and shrimp kadai curry was REALLY good though. The spices in the curry were really hitting and the shrimp was super fresh.
Reviews are largely positive. Diners highlight the authentic coastal flavors, friendly attentive service, and a welcoming clean ambiance.

Excellent service and pleasant ambiance inside the restaurant. We went in around 5:30 PM on a Friday and were surprised to see a few tables filled up already. By the time we left around 7 PM, the place got packed both indoors and outdoor dining area. Kolambi Masala with Bhakri is a must have! The presentation of Paplet thali was lovely! Definitely coming back here soon read more

3.5 STARS When in Sunnyvale... Indian food! Sunnyvale is THE place in the South Bay for regional Indian cuisine. We're usually the only non-Indians and I rarely see yipsters which is always a good sign. I remember when Puranpoli (vegetarian) first opened during the height of the pandemic, they had hella raving reviews within days of opening. So no surprise, their new sister resto: Surmai has too. Opening in the former Falafel Bite is Surmai (means king mackerel), offering takeout, indoor dining, and outdoor dining in the parking lot. It's soft opening weekend and they're still figuring things out. Hate to be the first person to not give 5 stars but we had quite a different experience than others. M E N U Maharashtrian/Marathi Coastal Cuisine with seafood being their specialty. Currently a limited soft opening menu: Apps (kebabs), curries, fish + shrimp fry, thali, and indo-chinese dishes. F O O D * Kolambi Fry: Rava Fried Tiger Prawns cooked w/ malvani spices (8 pc-$16.99) // 3.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/4exjsux5 Butterflied shrimp marinated in mildly spicy, dry-roasted warning spices and coated in semolina producing flavorful fried shrimp with a pronounced textured crunch. However, the shrimp was quite overdone and dry. Served with a tangy pickled cabbage slaw and creamy, herbaceous cilantro mint chutney. * Chicken Tikka Kebab: Spiced marinated boneless chicken skewered & grilled over a lava stone (2 pc - $14.99 // 3.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/mr2cspzk Different than the more familiar Northern Indian Chicken Tikka, the kebab was juicy with a slightly acidic and mildly spicy flavor profile. They forgot a chicken skewer and brought the second one 15 minutes later. It lacked char with parts of the chicken being undercooked and pink. Didn't get ill (went to buy oil of oregano afterwards...ifykyk). Told staff about the undercooked chicken and they offered to comp my friend's can of coke. * Burnt Garlic Fried Rice: Stir-fried rice w/ mixed vegetables, soy sauce, pepper, garlic ($12.99) // 3.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/2kmjcvh8 + $3.5 Shrimp + $1.5 Egg Love indo-chinese dishes so had to order this. Tasty, fluffy separated basmati rice studded with egg (no wok hei). What little garlic there was burnt to a charcoal on one side giving an acrid aftertaste. When providing feedback, I was told the garlic was supposed to be burnt black and bitter. I guess that's their regional style but I've known burnt garlic fried rice to be made with crispy, golden brown garlic. There were two types of shrimp, whole tender stir-fried shrimp and fried (?) marinated tiger shrimp that was chopped up. The latter was tough and rubbery, akin to chicken breast. Mild flavor so great for those who can't take spicy. Served with a side of chili sauce. * Raita ($2.49) // 4.5 stars Thick and creamy with a tang. S E R V I C E Friendly service, all the staff we encountered were very kind. Food took awhile (first diners of the day and not busy at the time) but it's a soft opening so understandable. One of the food runners kept trying to take away our plates and utensils when delivering a dish. This happened twice and it wasn't to give us a new set so I hope they continue to train. A M B I A N C E Casual with burgundy walls and peacock + swan paintings. Good amount of indoor seating with a handful of tables in the parking lot. Only one table has an umbrella for shade. P A R K I N G Plentiful, easy parking in the plaza. Overall, Surmai has potential to be 5 stars but IMO, the food is not there yet. Again, I know it's the soft opening and they're still figuring things out so I'll need to return for their Paplet [Pomfret] Rava Fish Fry. Hope to have a 5 star experience then! read more

We tried this Surmai for the first time and it was a very wholesome meal. I came here because I wanted to try the irresistible rava fish and it didn't disappoint. We got the Surmai Thali, Chicken Kabab, few rotis and a dal. This was quite a bit of food. The Thali came with the fish fry which was amazing, a fish curry with a perfectly spicy curry and two other things. The other gravy type thing tasted very similar to the fish curry and didn't add new flavor to my plate. The pink item was like a mix between rasam and raita so was interesting and yum! The thali is good enough for one two people depending on appetite. The dal tadka was ok too. The service was prompt and everyone took care of us pretty well. Ambience for lunches was busy and that's expected. I am definitely coming back here for the rava pomfret again :) read more
Found myself in Sunnyvale for some volleyball with friends and decided to finally stop by Surmai, the sister restaurant of Puranpoli in Santa Clara. Seating was a breeze at 3:30 on a Sunday and the three of us selected a preset table near the pay station. Our water jug was pretty much empty on arrival (which would become a reoccurring theme throughout the meal) - however, every other aspect of our service was pretty solid. Vishal was our server and, seeing as this was all of our first times having traditional Maharashtrian cuisine, was more than willing to answer my questions regarding the menu. I decided to branch out from my trusty mango lassi and try the Solkadhi beverage, a thick, peppery, and tart-savory traditional drink made with coconut milk and kokam that felt like I was drinking a pasta sauce. I must say I did not particularly enjoy this beverage, but its popularity as described by VIshal makes me think this might just be a cultural difference in palate. The food was a different story - we ordered 2 special thalis ($28.99) and 1 paplet thali ($32.99), which were little sampler plates of different dishes on a large platter. The special came with chicken and mutton masala, cornmeal fried kolambi prawns, onion and cabbage salad, rice and bhakri (rice flour flatbread), and a small bowl each of solkadhi, mutton broth, and tomato broth. I absolutely loved the mutton masala - I think it's the best way I've tried that protein ever - and the shrimp was crispy, flavorful, and not overcooked. I will note that as someone who isn't the best with spice, the default spice level was just right for me to enjoy with ample amounts of water. Vishal explained the broths were for drinking throughout the meal rather than dipping (as we initially inferred) and kindly brought us a cilantro chutney that went well with everything on my plate. My friend who had the paplet thali had a fried pomfret fish and fish curry instead of the prawns and masala, the former of which was quite sizable and very flaky. We washed up in their very clean bathroom and left absolutely stuffed. Would come again! read more
Went there as a party of 2 on Sunday evening around 7.45. There is plenty of parking available. Was greeted by a multiple groups waiting for their tables. You put down your babe with the host ( it's possible you have to wait for them as they help out inside as well). Our wait time was around 20-25 min. The table setting was nice. Every wait staff was in uniform. Great service overall. Now for the food. Pompfret thali: comes with Pompfret fry, fish curry with 2 small fish pieces, tomato Saar, sol kadhi, rice and 1 piece rice bhakri and some onions Surmai thali: there were 2 surmai fry pieces, fish curry with 2 small pieces, tomato Saar, sol Kadhi, rice and bhakri and some onions The food was very tasty, could have been spicier to be honest. The bhakri was very soft and fresh and we ended up ordering more separately. Also ordered the pandhra rassa separately - this was very flavorful read more

We love coming here for seafood -- it has quickly become our favorite spot for seafood thalis! The service and hospitality are always excellent. A special mention to Trely, who consistently makes sure we are well taken care of. read more

Was in the area and heard this place just opened. Decided to drop by. Was pleasantly surprised to see that it was crowded with a line out the door - seems promising. Also, I was the only non-desi there - seems promising. Ordered the special thali. It was a great selection! The fried shrimp were probably the highlight - meaty and succulent, with a good fried crunch to it and plenty of seasoning. It also came with a chicken curry which was good, and a mutton curry which I also highly enjoyed. I would definitely come back to try again. read more

Food (4/5): I tried Paplet Thali and Surmai Thali. I liked the Surmai Thali better - the king fish was very flavorful with less bones. However, the pomfret fish was more juicier. Both had an amazing crispy texture. I also enjoyed the solkadhi, had a tart yogurty taste that I appreciated. I'm not the most familiar with South Indian cuisine, and I like coconut, but I did not prefer the overwhelming coconut flavor from the curries. Overall, food was good but not amazing given the price. Service (4.5/5): Our waiter was very kind and offered to make many suggestions. The staff were also attentive with our waters. Ambiance (4.5/5): The restaurant had Indian music playing in the background and seems clean. We came for a Sunday early lunch, so it was not especially packed, but by the time we were done eating there was a line outside. We also came by on a Saturday night, and the staff said the wait time would be 1.5 hours, so either come at an unpopular time or be prepared to wait! read more
I bookmarked this a while ago after seeing the photos. Earlier today, I saw some of the reviews and decided to check it out. The front of the restaurant was *popping* - 45-minute to hour-long wait, people lined up outside, everyone laughing and all kinds of anticipation. I found a parking spot and got right in there. They let me order takeout. I got the Surmai Rava Fish Fry and some Bhakri. It was so delicious and well-seasoned! I also got the spicy Szechuan garlic and chili sauce, and I wiped the container clean. They joked that if I liked it, I could come back tomorrow, lol. I'll definitely be back! read more
We visited Surmai on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 5. We checked in, gave our name and waited around 10 minutes to get a table. This place opened recently in March 2024. The waiters were Maharastrian and greeted us with a warm welcome. We ordered King fish fry, Shrimp fry and Fish thali. The food was delicious. The server told us that the fish was imported from India and fresh. Although the place is slightly on the expensive side, ~$50 a person post tax / tip, for the authenticity the food is worth it. We will be back! read more
Our first reaction when we first saw the menu. What will the vegetarians in our group eat? There were literally 2items in the menu that the vegetarians could order. The 2nd reaction, the thalis seem very expensive ~$30/person. 3rd reaction, thali's portion size was small. The service was great, even with all the exotic dishes, they didn't make us wait. Our main reason to try this out was to try out the authentic coastal maharashtrian cuisine. I do not have a great baseline to say how authentic it was. But the fish fry tasted amazing! The fish curry had a strong coconut taste and I wasn't a fan. The saar tasted very similar to the curry with a strong hint of masala. There was a pink bowl given to us, I couldn't figure out what that was, but pretty much detested it. The shrimp was great, nice flavors but it was charred on the edges which brought down the overall taste a little down. Surprisingly the fried rice and the Manchurian which were the outliers in the authentic menu, tasted pretty good. Overall, good place to try. Next time I will come and try the fish fries by themselves. That was the best! read more
Exceptional konkan food! Multiple visits highly recommended to try their full menu. I went in on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant was buzzing with very few tables to spare. Since I was dining solo, I had to endure some wait for one of the smaller tables to get empty. After 15-ish mins, I was eventually seated at a table of 4. I appreciated them respecting patron wait time. Food: The menu is brilliantly designed to help you relish a thali or a fish entree. As a Mumbaikar living in the Bay Area, I know how hard it is to source Indian fish--especially pomfret (paplet) or mackerel (surmai). I was skeptical about being served authentic fish but loved learning how the Surmai team imported and prepared the dishes. I tried the paplet thali and the fish preparation was spot on! And remember, if you're not using your fingers to eat, you're not eating right! Background: The restaurant is a family owned business. They are the same owners as the other popular Maharashtrian restaurant, Puranpoli in Santa Clara, that serves vegetarian dishes only. I was surprised to learn that the master chef behind all the fish delicacies was a wonderful aai (Mother in Marathi) by the name Vasundhara. Overall ratings: Taste: 10/10 Ambience: 8/10 Service promptness: 8/10 Planning a return to leave a second round of review for this restaurant. read more

There is a bit of a wait time but it's soo worth it. The food is delicious My favorite was the roti that came with the thali, it was extremely soft and just delicious with all the curries that you get in the thali. Special thali comes with 4 fried shrimp, chicken curry, mutton curry, a bowl of rice and few other liquid currys I believe might've been extras for the rice. There was this pink coconuty bowl which was great too. A very scrumptious meal for sure. It's about $25 - $30 for each thali. The Surmai thali has fish fry and fish curry which was also super delicious. We got the Kolambi Fry which is fried shrimp, it was super crispy and juicy, a bit on the salty side though, yet very delicious. I also got the kokam sarbat, it was soo refreshing, I simply loved it. They have some pretty peacock paintings all around the place, which added a nice touch. It had a bunch or seating but it is close together which wasn't too bothersome. Overall, a must try, a very different kind of India cuisine, everything tasted wonderful. read more

Puranpoli's sister restaurant brings another gem to the Bay Area with authentic malwani cuisine, again from the state of Maharashtra. This place has just opened up and the food was just fantastic! One of my childhood friend's mom cooked amazing Malawani food and I was excited to try this place! We got the Special Thali, as much as I love seafood the mutton and chicken Konkani curries are incredible with the flavors of coconut and spices. It came with flavorful tambda and pandhra rassa. Sol Kari was delightfully refreshing with the curries. It came with rice and bhakris! And oh I totally forgot to mention crispy rawa coated prawns marinated in ginger and garlic - very nicely done. I would recommend this thali if you want a "surf and turf" style get a bit of land and sea! And it's a lot of food, I couldn't finish! We also got the pomfret fry, the fish is imported from India! Authentic, flavorful and yummy with the chutney. The rice Bhakris were the star, super soft and spongy and hot! We got a side of tambda rassa and dal to dunk those bhakris yummm And finally, I don't care how full you are but you have to get their mango ice cream also imported from India made with real Alphonso mangoes!! Despite the place being full, service was awesome, food came quickly and Roshan the owner was personally managing front of house and ensuring customers had a great time. Will have to come back again to have their namesake Surmai and the indo Chinese menu items! read more
Awesome Maharastrian seafood thali place. There was no wait at all on a Monday afternoon, and the menu selection was vast. I tried the Paplet Thali and my favorite items were the fish curry and the pomfret fry. It was a huge amount of food so you could share one thali per two people and it's very affordable that way. 100% recommend coming back! read more
BEST FISH THALI PLACE IN THE BAY AREA! MUST VISIT! We went here for lunch today and there was 30 mins wait. They don't take any reservations yet. I hope they start with the yelp waitlist soon since they just opened a week back and i understand it takes time. I must say food was amazing and the ambiance reminded me of typical fish thali places back in Mumbai. Loved it! Service was quick and staff was very friendly. Also, i liked how chef came to each table to ask if we were liking the food. Superb guys We ordered two Surmai thali's and one Special thali. I must say both the thalis were amazing. Rice bhakri was soo soft, surmai fry was nice & crispy, both chicken & mutton masala in special thali were nice. They later gave me Prawns fry which was the part of special thali and they were crispy and yum. Not to forget solkadhi was perfectly balanced. My husband loved tambda rassa and pandhara rassa too. Overall, the quantity was quite generous and filling and everything was served hot and was just delicious. I like how they have kept a limited menu and aced every dish. I hope the restaurant owner is able to add bombil fry to the menu. That will be amazing. Also, it will be great if in special thali both mutton & curry base are different. Please visit this restaurant and show some love to the regional cuisine. read more

Surmai specializes in coastal Maharashtrian cuisine, known for its hot, spicy flavors, and the chefs here did not hold back! Nearly everything that came on the Special Thali was super spicy from the coconut-based Konkani Chicken Masala (with bone-in thigh meat) and Mutton Masala (with tough bone-in chunks of mutton) to the Kolambi Fry, four tiger prawns coated in Malvani spices and a crispy rava (semolina) batter. The thali also came with a spicy Tambda Rassa (chicken/mutton broth) and a mild Pandhra Rassa (chicken/mutton broth with coconut milk), both of which were hot, unctuous, and flavorful. The one cooling component was the Solkadhi, a cool, pink-colored drink made of coconut milk and kokum fruit, and the thali also came with rice, salad (shredded cabbage and red onions), and bhakri, a chewy, mochi-like flatbread made of rice flour. Overall, the food here was delicious and featured bold, authentic flavors that really make you break a sweat! read more
It was packed. Families, large groups but ambient noise was low. Folks were focused on the food. Service is fast, so don't dwaddle. Food: Come here for coastal cuisine and you won't be disappointed. The fish was perfectly seasoned. We left the other seafood dishes for the next visit. Veg thali is okay. Though the roti was sooo soft. Went down easy. The triple fried rice is spicy. It comes with veg manchurian to take the edge off. Paneer Kabab is spicy as well. So make sure you tell them to go easy with the spice. read more

Its less than 10 mins away from lawrence costco and has lots of parking right outside. We were warmly greeted by friendly staff and we opted for outside seating as the weather was good. They had clean cutlery, cloth napkins and high chairs readily available. The menu was simple and easy to comprehend and our server helped provide good suggestions that we all appreciated. In $105 (before tip) we got: - surmai fish - 5/5 - 2 portions - perfectly spiced and 2.5 pieces of delectable fish that u can enjoy as an appetizer with a drink or simply with some chapati for a simple meal - paplet fish - 5/5 - full fish with bones and eye/tail but the taste was amazing - chicken tikka masala - 4/5 - loved the creamy gravy and i wish it had more chicken pieces in it coz it was so good. It will pair perfectly with a garlic naan. Its not spicy and it does contain cashew nut - chicken kebab - 5/5 - 2 skewers of perfectly char grilled juicy chicken - solkadhi drink - 5/5 - refreshing combo of coconut milk and kokam made this pink drink a favorite - kokam - 4/5 - this tasted light and something like maharashtrian masala lemonade which was delicious - gulab jamun dessert - 5/5 - 2 pcs - loved the softness and not utterly sweet - just perfect. This does not contain nuts. - chapati 3 portions - 5/5 - 2 pcs in each - thin rolled out wheat rotis. Loved it!! Definitely coming back for more :) loved it! PS- they have toned down the spiceness level of the dishes to make it more palatable for local population to enjoy. read more

so far i've tried most of the seafood appetizers and all of the curries i.e. kolambi masala, chicken masala and mutton masala. while their appetizers are delicious and very authentic, I felt like all of the curries tasted exactly the same, and were a bit too spicy even after requesting "less spice". I'll definitely keep coming back for the appetizers, especially the kolambi fry, but hope that they work on adding more diversity to their curries read more

Delicious food with true Marathi Malvani flavor. The size of pomfret was surprisingly huge - apparently they are sourced from Mumbai! I've eaten here a few times now and pretty much tried everything on the menu. My favorite items are: 1. Pomfret Thali - comes with a big size pomfret fry, pomfret kalvan, daal, tomato saar, solkadhi, bhakri and rice. 2. Kolambi Masala with bhakri - absolutely delicious. I wasn't a big fan of bhakri until I tried it here. Definitely coming back to this place again - it's one of its kind!! read more

It was our first time here after seeing it on Instagram Reels. The food was delicious--we especially liked the mutton ( my husband said he wish it has more gravy) The service was friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed everything we ordered. The restaurant has a nice decor and Clean. Plus, there is plenty of parking and the restroom was clean. read more
