    The food and service were wonderful for Indusdty night. Harmony was very attentive, we loved that she brought a sample taste of the evening special wine and the manager stopped by to check in. The DUCK BAO BUNS were delicious. The Wagyu burger was perfectly prepared with flavorful toppings and a soft roll. The French fries were mildly spiced and tasty. The weather was mild so the doors were open to view the sunset over the mountains. Perfect evening.
