    The food here is amazing and the service is always great! The only complaint would be about the owner/mgr. He literally comes up to your table after he sees you finished eating and asks you to leave because they have to seat other parties. Asking people to leave their table after they spent probably over $100 and in our case usually more than $200 is awful. We literally had premium drinks that were not finished. And this was not a one time thing, he has done this to us a couple of times. So if you like to eat and chat for a while after, this is not the place to do it.

    We have been dining there since we moved to Monrovia. You will not find a better place to eat!
