    Waiter seated us in a restaurant not even at half occupancy and never took our order, it was like they forgot we were even there, how does one do that in an almost empty diner? we sat and waited for someone to take our drink order for 25 minutes. I tried making eye contact with the waiter just standing there at the station and he finally got the memo and came to us after 25 minutes of waiting. Never gave us crayons for the kids menu, ask for crayons, and the hostess responds they don't have any. For such expensive food , maybe use some of that money for crayons for your coloring page menus? My Benedict was cold , nobody checked on us at the table I think I walked up to their station 3 times to ask for the bill, some waters and more orange juice. Waiter didn't charge us the refill because he felt bad. It could've been a good experience seeing as the food was alright minus it being cold, and the atmosphere was lovely, But the waiter staff completely ruined that for us. Brutal,

    It took over an hour to get our simple orders of hamburger with fries and my friend ordered salad and soup. Very disappointed in the service.

    We had a large group of people celebrating a special occasion. Staff were so accommodating and were able to seat us all together. The food was great and so was the ambience. Highly recommend!

    The food was really good, served hot to our table and there was a good portion on our plates. I like the fact that the menu has many options to choose from. Will definitely be coming back. Our server was really good as well, she kept following up to make sure everything was okay.

    Went there Easter Monday. Was very quiet that day. Food and service was well presented. Was there for a nice, long chat with my sister and we never felt the need to rush out. They are closed at 11pm so there was no rush. Would go there again
