“Very limited lunch menu but the chicken pesto pita pocket was delish. Ordinary shoestring fries followed a tasty appetizer of fried cauliflower. No regular ranch dressing for dipping available. Nothing intriguing enough for a repeat visit.“

“Upon entry we were greeted by a man who opened the door for us, which is pretty unheard of in this day and age. We waited around a minute for the table, but the food came pretty quickly and it was delicious. I had the chicken parmesan over fettucine alfredo and would rate it an 8.5/10. The service was great and the overall vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant was good too. Easy to find parking and fairly priced food.“

“Happy to say tonight was a great night to go out to dinner. Upon arrival, the bartender was acting as host, server and over all cheer squad for the restaurant. We were greeted promptly as she was busy assisting a person picking up an order and seating another couple. We sat in the bar at a hightop. She followed us over with menus and asked us about drinks. Throughout our visit she was a checking in with a bubbly personality and vibrancy that was refreshing. Our food came out as ordered, which can be tricky with my dietary changes, and it was hot and delicious! She was Johnny on the spot with refills and smiling every time she came by. I couldn't remember her name but the receipt said Blake. If that's correct I give you props! Thanks for making a rainy night enjoyable 😉“
