First visit (09/2025): VERY clean. Food was excellent. Specials are worth having. However, no substitutes. Service was lacking. She never came back to check, no extra napkins, no soda refill or to deliver our bill. We would come back, but not until the 'sewer' smell is fixed and gone. It was difficult to eat smelling sewer.
