Had a good selection of food and portions were on the large side. The taste even outdid that, with that made with love of food in mind. They were able to adopt things to our liking and it came out as asked. Very friendly server that kept all smooth and did her job like she enjoyed it.

Walked down from our hotel at the rut recommendation of the hotel concierge. By far the best ruben sandwich I have ever had. Only one other it comes close. Pull up pork was delicious. They we're not stingy with the sauce. Sometimes pulled pork it can be dry. This one was very saucy. The chocolate cake with ganache was also amazing.

Excellent dinner. Had the Ruben, Tilapia and veggies. Both were very good. Has a regular seating area and a bar area where they had live piano player. Interior is dated but charming. Waitress awesome.
