    The chopped salad was amazing! Brought my mom in for her birthday, and she’s very picky and she loved everything. They have mocktails, which were soooo good. And the service was outstanding, thanks Elvis!

    Sat out on the patio because it was a beautiful day, all of a sudden the weather turned for the worst. The host quickly brought us inside and Jermaine, our server, brought all of our food in. They were so accommodating and quick to help us, and even asked our seating preference inside. Very kind host Teresa, and a great establishment.
