   The server got my companion’s order incorrect. I ordered an Asian salad that came with chicken. My iceberg lettuce or Napa cabbage in the salad had pieces of the core. The small pieces of red bell pepper were not fresh, but they were mushy. The mandarin orange pieces were not fresh as well. I typically order Asian chicken salad at lunch and this was mediocre compared to other restaurants.

   We were a party of 5 with dinner reservations @ 6pm. It was not busy when we arrived. We were promptly seated in a booth. The service was slow. We were not offered beverage refills & had to track down a server. As time progressed, it was packed & very busy. Our meals did not arrive together. The food was not hot when it did. This was not our typical dining experience.

   Thank you for sharing your experience Debbie. Sounds like we didn't provide the outstanding service we strive for this time. We'll address this with the staff and make sure it doesn't happen again. We would like to make it up to you. Please swing back by our location and personally share this experience with the manager so we can do right by you.

   Really used to enjoy going to eat there but this last visit will likely be our last. I ordered the Ahi salad - the Ahi was old tasting not fresh at all, my daughters both ordered steak and they were over cooked, our pizzookies were even over cooked! Just a really terrible experience and our server I’m sure they were short staffed but she just stopped coming to our table once the food was delivered.

   I order the “Jumbo” spaghetti and meatballs, the pasta was very good and plenty of it, the meatballs (4) were not has big, mine were actually dry and cold, like they had been re heated, my wife had the shrimp scampi, her plate was delicious, pasta was very flavorful and the shrimp was cook nicely, also her plate was very hot in temperature, the spinach and artichoke dip was delicious, highly recommend it as an appetizer.

   The 1st server was great, hand off service changed 1/2 way through time, busy, raining, roof leaking all over the floor at entrance. Food was terrible , apps served barely warm, entree steak over cooked, terrible veggies with black char, poorly prepared served barely warm, added on beer charged never served to table, friendly staff. Will not return

   Showed up before the reservation and was told my reservation wasn’t in the system. Said it would be about an hour wait… but they were quick to fix the situation and we were seated within 10 minutes! We had a wonderful waiter too!

   We were seated outside and the heaters were not working well when we were there. The food took a really long time to come out and the quality just wasn't up to our expectation for the price that we paid. Our server did their best but it was clear they had too many tables to serve at the same time. We arrived at 6PM and paid the bill at 8:30PM, a lot of that time was waiting for food

    Great place for our daughter's 11th birthday with her family. There was something on the menu for all ages. The pizookie was delicious! We were seated right away. The service was terrific!
