An intimate setting for size. I will say their menu is extensive. You could bring a diverse group here and most would find something they wanted to eat. The pizza I had was ok, I have a feeling it would have been better on a larger sized crust. The fettuccine was good enough I suppose but the Alfredo sauce was sweet which wasn't quite my thing. If I could have done it over again I would have ordered something different. The staff was wonderful which I feel like was really the best part of the experience. If you are looking for a location to eat and don't want to get tied into a set menu this place could help you out in a pinch.

Parking: Plenty of parking for the space.

Not sure if it new owners or what happened it's really gone down hill.

We love trying new family restaurants, so while we were out of town, we decided to give this a try. We expected bland food but were pleasantly surprised!

The soup (tomato rosa marina) was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of salt. My lemon pepper pork chop was huge, and the seasoning was AMAZING. It was definitely the star of the show, due to my side of grilled vegetables being lackluster (not cooked long enough, and no seasoning). The rice had a unique lemony taste to it that was good. My husbands food came with gravy that was also unique in flavor but so good! We were also surprised that the dinners came with a dessert, so that was an added bonus!

The service was also amazing. Kim was very friendly and helpful. I didn't know what to get, so she was able to give me recommendations, and she answered all of my questions. She made sure we had everything we needed.

We know where we will be coming next time we are in town!

Kid-friendliness: Generic kids menu, but the chicken tenders ended up being hand-breaded and good!

Voula makes this place one to go back to time and time again! She knows her customers and is very personable. The food is good too. It’s a diamond in the rough.

The food was really great, the service... Not so much. We had a super nice waitress but she was really distracted. It wasn't super busy either, it's a small restaurant and they have great prices for what you get.

Pancakes were falling apart as I was trying to butter them. They became very mushy when I added syrup. Scrambled eggs were perfect. Bacon was very thin, but crisp to perfection. I just felt the pancakes could’ve been better. Fluffy like, and not become immediately mushy once I put syrup on them.

The food was served hot but I hate to say, it tasted like old reheated food. My wife and I got sick from it.
