    Tandem is a wonderful place to eat. We had the salmon and the brussels/beet salad, and both were delicious. It was quiet, making it easy to talk, and the service was perfect in every way. The parking lot makes it especially convenient. Highly recommended!

    The food at Jujube is always perfectly prepared! The staff are wonderful and make every dining experience a special occasion. Michael aka “Rosey” is a great addition to the managerial team at Jujube. He is kind, friendly and makes sure everything is completed to perfection. He doesn’t hesitate to deliver food and drinks to the table if it will help his staff and enhance your dining experience. We were just there and our waiter Julian was a star. He was attentive, gave us wonderful suggestions and made our friend’s birthday an unforgettable evening. He topped it off with a handwritten note thanking her for choosing Jujube for her birthday experience. A real class act. Thank you Jujube.

    Had reservation but ended up sitting in bar area high top where it was louder than normal due to some baseball fans really into the game. We liked the Octoberfest specials: good beer and the roasted apple kraut was outstanding. Overall was fine but would have preferred to have been seated at a regular table upstairs especially now that reservations are more or less required if you don't want to wait an hour on the weekend.
