Went in the middle of the day on a wednesday. The food was good and the server came too quickly after we sat down to ask for our orders. After we received our food that was the last time we saw our server. She never came back for water refills and only came around for the check.

Our server was really wonderful. She was patient and kind and knowledgeable. The turkey burgers were excellent, we want to come back just to get those. The only negative was the breakfast potatoes that came with the omelette. They were super hot and spicy and not really edible. We would have liked to have had a choice on that since they are so extreme. But that was just one minor negative because the experience was very good and we will come back again.

The staff was very nice and accommodating for our table of 8. We actually ended up booking 2 table of 4 bc that's all that was available online, but when we arrived, the hostess happily put our two tables together. In all fairness, it was Easter Sunday, so they may have been a bit short staffed: the waitress was slow and running around like a chicken with its head cut off; the food took forever to come to the table and it was luke warm at best. I highly recommend the Onion...
