Food was good. Service, on the other hand, was terrible. As soon as we walked in, it seemed like the two hosts didn't know what they were doing. People that were waiting in line for a table were complaining about the service as well. After being seated and waiting for about 15 minutes to be acknowledged by our waitress, we started giving our order and the waitress was asked a question by someone and she walked away without taking our order and came back about 10 minutes later and asked if we were ready to order. Took the food about 45 minutes to come. Waitress didn't check to see if everything was ok or if we needed refills (we did, but...) Seemed like everyone that worked there was dazed and confused and wanted to go home (overheard two waitresses talking about couldn't wait to go home). The young man at the front counter just stands there and looks creepily at everyone. (Cover your beard with a net). We will not be back.

Just had Chicken a la Lorena. It was awesome.Sauce over the chicken and mashed potatoes, with capers, tomatoes and artichokes was the best meal I have ordered lately.

Your prices are like I’m ordering from a Michelin Star restaurant. Your food is a step above McDonald’s. Don’t ever forget that when customers stop ordering from you.

So I ordered off door dash.. food arrived timely and was still warm. I ordered the wedge salad, no blue cheese, and extra tomatoes. The tomatoes were cut dice style. I substituted the blue cheese for Itilian and vinigar. It was a nice size wedge salad. Lettuce was fresh. Tomatoes were freshly cut. They were a little stingy on the onion. But I don't have any negative about that. It would be rather hard to mess up a wedge salad. But some people do. Next, I ordered a cup of chili and cheese on the side. This chili was definitely different. The meat was chopped up very, very small. It kinda gave off more of a soupy/creamy feeling dish. I don't believe it had any beans. I just didn't find it to really have any type of taste. Bland. Lastly. I order the ancour burger. I had them add a tomato and onion it only came with mushroom cheese and lettuce. The burger was cooked to my instructions. The taste.. the meat wasn't a special season. Just a burger cooked to the order. The burger came with season fries. The fries were good. Not overly or underly cooked. Overall.. I mean, it was decent food, but nothing that I will crave. I may order from them again. The food did look just like the photos, at least.

I have loved in the area since 2012 and have passed by multiple times on my way to see my parents. Today I decided to stop. The parking lot was crowded and I thought it might be a wait. But the place was larger than I expected and I was seated quickly. Once in the booth it wasn't long before my server showed. A bit of quick pleasantries and my order was in. The place reminded me of an 1960s restaurant. Very clean and family oriented. The vibe screams family and good friends meet here. I order the godfather omelet. It was packed with mushrooms, spinach, and sausage. It came with a side of potatoes and toast. I choose rye because the bite goes well with breakfast. When the omelette arrived it was much bigger than I would imagine. Most of the meals are shareable definitely enough food for two. I'm usually not an egg fan, but I definitely would order it again. Just need to bring a plus one. If you're in the area for the eclipse stop by for a great meal.

Breakfast is good with a sizeable menu. Service is OK. One big turnoff- they hit you with a 3% credit card charge. No postings on the door or menus and the server doesn't mention it either. They don't tell you this until you've finished your meal and walk to the counter and pay. As much as we like the place we dislike pop up charges and won't be back.

I know we weren't here during their busy time but the service was excellent and the food was even better. I can imagine how busy it could get during lunch and dinner. What a little hidden gem. Everything was clean. The food and beverage selection was great too.?

Was craving clean, fresh fish. Exceeded my expectations. About to have it for the 3rd day in a row. Quick, fresh and yummy. Reasonably priced. Already recommended it to a friend.

Food is OK. Service/order prep is slow. Worst thing is they hit you with a 3% service charge to use a CC without telling you prior to receiving your check. Then refused to remove the charge when told we'd pay cash instead.Why won't businesses post these "hidden fees" on the door, register, and menus?Won't be going back
