My friend had the burger and was not impressed. I had the chicken picatta and it was a bit dry. Will probably give it another try, but if next time I have the same experience, will need to find a new go to spot in Saratoga.

The owner Clyde, does not cut corners. Most of hid food is made by scratch & is premium as well as his accommodations. I would highly recommend this Restaurant. If there was 10 stars to give, I would give 20 stars.
