“We visited on Sunday morning. We ordered food to go for 4 people. The food was fabulous! The girl taking orders at the counter could use some training in a friendly greeting.
The take out order was bagged (thought it was mine) but just sitting on the back table. I went up to the counter to wait and someone brought the bag up but didn’t say anything. I asked if it was mine and if so if it was complete. They checked and said it was. Just surprised I had to watch it sit and then ask if it was mine.“
