    I love that the food is freshly made to order. Tastes fresh and delicious. I had the fish sandwich grilled and it was perfect. I usually get one of their delicious salads . Love this place and drive a bit far from home just to never be disappointed.

    Found was great as always but boy - a confused experience. Got seated with menus just fine. Typically someone greets you snd takes a drink order at least - until your server comes to take good orders - but we sat with no one bothering with us fir a good 10 minutes which is so odd. We waved at the hostess who was helping setup a table and she got someone to tend to us. One if our favorite weekday servers come by and took our drink snd appetizer orders. Two if us simply wanted water snd it was odd that another person came by with a pitcher of water - but no glasses. Hmmm. We waved over someone to ask for glasses. Then our favorite waiter came by in a few minutes and delivered our drinks - yeah! Our server finally arrived and we placed our order. The hostess came by to apologize for the confusion and explained it was a shift change - although we knew we were simply lost in the shuffle even though many waiters and two hostesses kept walking by until we proactively asked to be helped. Crazy - but the server did say the manager offered a free dessert - we asked instead for one if our apps to be comped which we thought a more than fair compromise. Will we go here on a Sunday again? Probably not. We will stick to Saturday and weekday afternoons when it’s not busy. Clearly the management isn’t on top of organizing shift changes during busy days. Same thing happened before here on a Saturday evening. Would be a good idea to be more observant that customers aren’t sitting without someone there more readily to take an order. We love this place. Disappointments are few and far between but always always always seem to occur when it’s busy.

    The food is a good quality and is prepared well. The table service was outstanding. The only negative was I was told there would be a wait and they didn't know how long, even though I had a reservation. We were finally seated about 20 minutes after our reservation time. It was the only negative, but to me a big negative.

    If you're there on a Saturday, their chili is amazing. Their tortilla soup is another favorite, however that chili..... I dream about that stuff. ;)
