WOW!! We drive by this place all the time, usually in the evening. They close at 3 but today we managed to go in for lunch. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the place is beautiful. Very clean and well decorated. The prices are reasonable. There are a lot of options for the types of food choices. We almost always taste each other's food and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't a fast food, everything tastes the same, kind of place.

The atmosphere here is nice and enjoyed the spanish pop music playing. Their steak and eggs were disappointing. The steak was dry and chewy with a lot of fat. Not worth the money. The breakfast pot pie dish was too rich and not that tastey. Maybe next time we'll get more lucky with the food.
