    Delicious food! Hats off to our waitress, Te! Lovely and helpful. All staff were nice. I actually used a spoon to finish the dressing on the tie dyed salad. Chicken dish was exceptional. Chocolate souflet was incredible so light and delicious with grand mariner ice cream. Oh my! I am a plant person and that’s why I picked this spot. They had an event close by a little loud and crazy for about 20 min. But so worth it.
