    We've been dining here for years. We now drive an hour. When we visited from the East Coast it was always a required stop. We frequently get the Fish & Chips which are simply the BEST! Lovely server. Lovely atmosphere. Can't recommend enough.

    While traveling in California, we decided to stop by this downtown restaurant. The food was good, not great but being from a foodie City, maybe our expectations were too high. Our server, Matt, was a stand out professional. Could not have been more kind, resourceful and accommodating.
