“I am so disappointed in my recent visit on 3/22/25. They changed the green beans! I paid $3 for an extra side to add the green beans which I have always loved here and they changed them. No longer do they have bacon bits, onion and a touch of sugar. Now they are straight out of a can. I can go to my local grocery store and get a couple of cans for the same taste and price. I’m very disappointed in this change and I will no longer order green beans here.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“The food is delicious, instead of waiting to order you can go and get the food already made, there are signs to show where the seafood, meats, vegetables and desserts are, average service when it is full but in the part where you wait for the meat to be cooked, delicious desserts there are cakes, cookies, gelatin and much more! The beautiful atmosphere has background music and the lights make you feel at home, there are also signs in the part where the tables are where you sit to eat where they tell how to make one of the meals

Vegetarian options: There is a large vegetable section.

Kid-friendliness: Most foods are also for children such as meats, desserts, vegetables and sodas.“
