He even surprised her with a thoughtful gift from the chocolate store—such a kind gesture! The service was outstanding, and the food was just as impressive. I had the chicken cutlet, which was absolutely delicious, and the kids couldn’t get enough of the fondue for dessert. A fantastic dining experience with great food and a fun atmosphere!

The selection of food was decent as it seemed the menu has changed a bit. Their delicious chicken and waffles was not on the menu no more. They serve a delicious veggie burger, but I wish they would have turkey burger on their menu. The veggie burger was thick and very tasty. Top tier fries and onion rings. They also have pasta dishes and burgers. They have an array of desserts to choose from and a simple children's menu with pizza, chicken fingers, etc.. They need to tune the music down in the rest room; sounds like a darn club in the restroom. Unnecessary. This a great restaurant for families, for occasions and for dates. Good food, good drinks and good deserts. Oh, their chocolate chip cookies are amazing.

Having her heart set on a waffle, she sent it back. It came to the table after my entire family, but her, ate her meal. No compensation, just the removal of the crepe from the bill. Sucked she had to take it home vs staying there to eat it. (We had to leave for the sake of our children)
