They did not honor open table reservation. We waited over an hour tobe seated and a hour and a half for the food to be served. Many people were turn away with open table reservations.
February 2025
There were 6 of us. We ordered a lot of different platters and sandwiches. The food was very good. The tea very sweet and the Bloody Mary was spicy. The waiter was very attentive even though it appeared he was the only waiter and the bartender and the hostess for a big portion of the time we were there. He was a champ!

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and brought my granddaughter milk!
