This place is a STAPLE!!! The food is annoyingly good (I literally was SO full and was still taking little bites), and the service was amazing!!! Please stop by and get the Meat Lovers with Lamb, Chicken, and Ribeye. Oh, and get the Lemon Cake! You’re welcome :)

Overall, the food is delicious. The only issue I had was on the meat lovers. Some meat was popping hot and then some meat was cold. I’m not sure if that’s how that dish is supposed to be. The cake was a little small to be nine dollars And the actual cake part was a little dry, but the filling was good. You did get the lemon taste.
Update: So I got the meat lovers, which I think came with some type of steak. They don’t label it so you don’t know which...

Really enjoy going here. Their selections are great, and the staff are always happy to explain the menu and make recommendations for folks who might be a bit less experienced in the cuisine.
