We were there around 6 p.m. on a Sunday night. It was pretty quiet so no crowds or noise to deal with. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The food was all good but I had the salmon blt and there were 3 tiny pieces of salmon on a large bun so it was hard to tell it was a fish sandwich. I had this same experience at a Cooper's Hawk recently ... shrinkflation. Other than the fish portion, we had no complaints.
