   The two patios are great places for dining any time of day. The service is friendly and food quality is consistent. Additionally, the two patios are dog friendly.

   We sat on the back patio, and it was great. Lots of servers were checking on us. My friends had tasty salads. I just had a bowl of soup and an especially delicious cup of coffee with cream that really woke me up! Really like this place!

   We went for Sunday lunch and decided to have the bottomless champagne for mimosas. We had to ask for the champagne twice and the food actually arrived before it did. Then we had to ask for a second bottle after we had actually finished eating. The service was really very slow and inattentive. We were on the outdoor patio and an actual fight broke out between two patrons, throwing ketch bottles which burst on impact, and a patio heater was knocked onto us - thankfully not on at the time. The fight was not caused by the restaurant, although it apparently had started inside in the bathrooms where the doors do not properly lock. But it was not contained by staff and nobody checked to see if we were OK after we caught the falling patio heater. It felt like we were at some rundown college tavern.

   This is a great casual place that will satisfy everyone. The menu ranges from salads, to burgers, to sandwiches and entrees. The fun and usually cute staff are very entertaining. This gay restaurant easily crosses over for anyone to enjoy. Sit on the front or back patio for outdoors...plenty of heaters for winter dining. Drinks are great!

   The Mexican Chicken Chef Salad served in a tortilla was delicious but, even though I specified "wrapped tightly" it was served so loosely wrapped that contents fell out while eating
