Good atmosphere, mediocre food. Service not that great. One of the four dishes took for ever to come out. French fries were cold, burger was Luke warm.. It was a busy Friday night, so that might explain it. Too bad I will not be going back again to test that theory

My partner and I ordered the Tri Tip Au Jus and Chicken Stir Fry. Both dishes lacked any flavor or seasoning - just bland. Even the Au Jus tasted watered down - it was odd. The vegetables tasted like a bag of steamed vegetables (not stir fried - and again - no flavor). Both the chicken and the steak - no seasoning.
The acoustics in the restaurant were not great. I found it overwhelmingly loud in there. The layout for the bathroom to go through the server station...

I had the calamari and shrimp taco here, and both were so delicious! The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was friendly and efficient. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!
