The food was ok. Service was questionable. We had to wait a long time before server came to take our orders and really were left alone. One of our diners had to get up to find someone when we needed something. Disappointed in the service. Food was ok. Nothing amazing

We came from brunch this time and there is a variety of options with a little more lunch than breakfast. Service was great and the noise level was easy enough to have a conversation.

Our server was terrific. It took forever for our entrees to arrive. It was 8:30 on a Saturday night and the restaurant had been full earlier. Just seemed like the kitchen got backed up. Food was hot and delicious when it arrived.
