After dealing with the police, and getting insurance information, we decided to go to the brewery, to get a glass of Jack’d Up, (which is a seasonal beer, which tastes a bit like pumpkin pie), and is also our favorite! The staff and bartender were so nice and friendly, they really commiserated with us, and redirected our day.Thanks!”

“I really like the Oriental Chicken Salad , and I’ve had it at many restaurants and there is one place that has the best. At Marnanteli’s they had the salad and a wrap with the salad in it, and I had the wrap and it tasted just like the salad I like at my favorite place. I’d give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for taste and presentation. I’d recommend both if you like salads you should try either one.”
