I wanted to make a point to eat here while I was in the city and I was not disappointed. This food was fantastic and we had a large party with 4 children. The waitress was very patient when the kids had no idea what they were doing. They all experimented with new things and they were all satisfied. All the food was so good but I recommend the pork chop and the pickled pineapple on the pickle appetizer was so tasty!
