    The new drink menu leaves much to be desired. Not good. The food is the same. I ordered roasted salmon hoping to eat a bit healthier, and it still made me feel bad after eating. My husband and I don’t know what it is about the food here, but every time we eat it, we feel bad afterwards. Service was okay, but it was packed. The screaming child next to us made it extremely loud and unpleasant. If a small baby cries for a moment, no big deal. This was an older child throwing a tantrum. Who takes their toddler out for dinner at 8pm?! Awful. Almost felt bad for our server.
