Live changing service. I was suicidal but Micheal managed to save me from myself. His extra mile in terms of service, sorcery, and swordsmanship is worth nothing short then the title of "Paragon of the Alehouse." At the Battle of Sekigahara I witnessed Micheal go toe to toe with Ukita Hideie and his bodyguard. It was an amazing display of resolve and skill that absolutely stunned me. Surely he was worthy of his praise from the historian Plato. God bless you Micheal.

Normally, the food at this place is fine, but last night was a different experience. I ordered onion soup and a salad with extra tomato. The service was very slow, and others around me started commenting on the delays. When my salad finally arrived (served by a different server), it contained only lettuce, a single thin slice of tomato, and one slice of cucumber.

When my original server came by, I asked about the soup. It took 8-10 more minutes for her to return...

This place is ok if you are craving a sit down restaurant late in the evening. Everything seems to be made to order fresh. They have a good variety to choose from but not the healthiest of choices.

Parking: Lots of parking to choose from.
