“We have usually love eating here. Today, my husband’s cobb salad was delicious. However, the others in our group had reuben’s that were dry and a chicken avocado bacon sandwich — only a smear of avocado on the bread and it was difficult to find the bacon.. When the waitress was asked about the avocado she brought extra fresh slices. Something has happened to the delicious food we are use to.”
