What an outstanding lunch! So good I wish I was eating it right now.

Brussels sprouts, corn fritters, and carne asada egg rolls were delicious.

Couple tacos and we were stuffed. Can hardly wait to visit again.

Food was excellent and our server, Jay Lynne, was delightful. She explained the menu thoroughly and is obviously a fan of the restaurant and enjoys working there. My cousin and I were visiting from out of state, but if we return to the area we will go back to this restaurant because Jay Lynne was such a terrific server and because the food was so exceptional.
