The food was great with large portions. Service is very pleasant and fast. I got the honey ricota toast from the light and fit menu. It was delicious. My friend got the salmon bowl, which looked amazing. Highly recommend.

The shrimp and grits are good — cheesy, lemony and perfectly seasoned. The people are nice and the decor is immaculate. We sat at the counter and the bar is so aesthetic✨ Would love to come back with a reservation and dine in one of the booths.

Really enjoyed my takeout of lobster and shrimp ravioli and sirloin steak tips with spinach and sweet potato. The sirloin was soo tender and deliciously prepared. The lobster pasta I've had each time I visit. Takeout was prepared on 15 minutes and order was correct

Came here with my mom and my sister on a Saturday afternoon. After parking in the huge lot that surrounds the diner itself, we went in and noticed how packed it was. I thought I was lucky since I already had a reservation, but we still ended up having to wait an extra 20 minutes for our table to be cleared. No big deal, it's kind of expected with the amount of volume they were having.The atmosphere of the place is very nice, it's a pretty large location but I have to say something- it might've been a diner in the past, but the remodel definitely removed that sort of feeling. It's still a very nice place with a good vibe, but it feels sort of removed from the whole diner subtype.We ordered the disco fries, teriyaki ribs, monte cristo, sunday pasta, and the navajo chicken pasta. Me and my mom also shared an oreo milkshake while my sister got a coffee. The disco fries can be a meal on its own- despite all three of us eating it, we ended up close to full before our own entrees even came in. Probably some of the best disco fries I've had though, along with the ribs. I honestly didn't have a lot of room for my chicken pasta, but it tasted great from what I had, and so did the sunday pasta. One thing I didn't like though was the monte cristo. It's way too much of a contrast between savory and sweet to the point it clashes too much. Our server didn't really say much to us and only really talked when taking our orders, it seems like the bussers do a lot of the cleaning and bringing food while waiters take orders and give checks and such- of course, I could be wrong.I recommend Tops, maybe I should get some of the breakfast items next time but it was a good eat (kind of expensive though). Make sure to try and get a reservation since it'll cut down on your wait time, and be mindful of the disco fries. It's a lot.

Omg the food was amazing. The place is beautiful and I loved the bathroom decor. Even though it was super busy I didn’t feel rushed and the workers seemed like they had everything under control. A must go place
