    A last minute choice for us, and what a great one! We had a salad, a cheeseburger, and a short rib pasta. Everyone was really pleased with their choices. Appetizers of hummus and pita and a crab cake also delivered. Such an unexpectedly good dinner!

    The food was wonderful, but service was terrible. Our food came later than many people who came at same time or later than us. In addition, we asked for 3alterations to our menu selections, and only 1 was completed.

    Stopped in for breakfast. Basic menu and overpriced. Food was simple, nothing fancy. Seats were uncomfortable. Staff was super nice and attentive, coffee refills quick.
