    Food was not good. They were out of the entree I ordered but never told me until everything else came out and I inquired as to where it was. My friends half full wine glass was removed from the table before she was finished….just overall not good.

    Menu description of food was deceiving. Roasted Salmon said side of crispy Brussel sprouts but when there was no waiter advise there see some leaves on top! Wagyu pigs in blanket $17 tasted no different than supermarket. Definitely not worth

    The seating area had gnats flying around, which made it uncomfortable to eat.

    Had lunch here today with a friend. We both ordered the butternut squash and kale salad. I added grilled shrimp to mine. The portion was small for the price but it was a unique and delicious salad. We ordered the mud pie for dessert, which was delicious but incredibly rich so had to bring half of it home. No complaints! Good restaurant and our server Isabel was perfect.
