Beautiful restaurant with an interesting history. Excellent menu and the food was fantastic! Had the 1/2 salad and cup of soup lunch. Choose the black bean soup served over rice. Delicious! After we ate we asked about the restaurant history and the assistant manager gave us a wonderful tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Service was great! Smash burgers were on the dry side. Wish they used meat with more fat content. If you are in to dry smash burgers you will love them. Just not my preference. Get the ranch wedges!

Ambience is really nice. The service was top notch. Food is a little high on price. Flavor was good but the temperature wasn’t as expected. Will return and try something different then the Chicken Parmesan.
