    Magnificent dinner at a quaint restaurant tucked away between stores. Chefs special of pork shank was incredible. They should keep this on the menu. Must have is th original chopped salad! It’s more than a salad- delectable and unique! I would highly recommend a patio table outside. Waitress was sweet, kind and friendly. She is a gem although I can’t recall her name. Will need to go back to try more dishes because there’s so many great options.

    Wonderfull hidden gem in the heart of Old Town. It's a smaller, quiter resturaunt tucked back in a small alley-mall. The food and drinks were amazing, and the service was fantastic. Pricing was a value compared to other resturaunts in the area.

    We’ve been one other time during restaurant week and enjoyed it. We had friends visiting and thought we would bring them. Everyone was really happy! Try the carrots! They are amazing! Also Poke bowl and salmon and steak sandwich special were off the charts good! Oh and the chopped salad amazing!!

    Great restaurant! They need to fix their location on Apple & Google maps definitely hard to find. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and attentive.

    We had the carrots for the appetizer and they were very tasty. I would go back just for the carrots. I liked the burger but would have liked a little more seasoning. My husband got the salmon salad and really liked it. The Iced tea was great. I would go back

    We tried somewhere new and we did so on my Dads 76th Bday. However would have been 76th. My mom, sister and I continue to celebrate his life and how much we miss him. Marissa was our server and she was an absolute GEM. Impeccable service. The food was delicious. And who I presume was the Manager, brought wine over and asked if Dad liked red or white. And poured one for him for his birthday. It was the best experience we could have asked for. And we will be back a million times over. Thank you!
