Classic is classic, and it was so good I was happy. haha I was glad my close friends and my sister enjoyed it too. haha My sister was a little late after finishing her own plans, but even though we were meeting for the first time, she was so warm and friendly! It was so good that we plan to come back!

The staff also served us kindly, which I really liked. I'm going to have a team dinner with my coworkers soon~! I think it would be a good place for that, and if you have a partner, it would make for a very satisfying date!
