Great food! Just strange situation. The 9pm time google has listed is incorrect. Was told when I called in at 8pm that the kitchen is probably closed for a sesame chicken to-go order . The hostess came back and asked if that’s all it would be. I said yes, just that one entree with a side of spinach. Apparently the spinach tipped the scale bc I was told they couldn’t do my order ?

The food was fair, the prices reasonable. Good spot for a light lunch. Purchased the steak sandwich, the steak was medium with plenty of flavor. Not a fan of the plain kettle chips that accompanied. Will switch to fries next visit.

The food here is always good. I always get the Gorgonzola chips appetizer. Today my husband and I also got the soups of the day, shared a delicious strawberry with goat cheese salad and the mahi mahi entree. It was all delicious. For dessert we had the vanilla bean creme brulee which was out of this world! Always a good meal!

What a wonderful evening! We had a delicious dinner and our server Marlene was absolutely the best. I wish we lived closer so we could be regulars here. The lavender cheesecake was heaven. Thanks for a wonderful evening Marlene ❤️

We enjoyed the Lunch Box and the star of the show was the Shrimp Bisque soup. The rest of the meal was very good but the soup was exceptional. 3 of us had it and we all agreed that it was amazing.

It had been a while since we’ve visited and so glad we went in. They had an amazing appetizer with hummus and artichoke hearts and the curry dish was fantastic. Service was top notch, they really have a well boiled machine of staff constantly refilling water, clearing dishes and checking in. Everyone took ownership for the table, very impressive.

I had never been here before, and after years of driving by.. I decided it was time to go in and try this cute restaurant. It was so cozy. Service very friendly, food was outstanding. We both had the salad with goat cheese and roasted beets. I had the braised short ribs and my friend had the sausage rigatoni. Both so delicious. Finished it off with the buttermilk chocolate bundt cake. Will definitely come back and try something else on the menu very soon.

This place has declined in quality. The last two times the gorgonzola chips were aweful.
