    Ive been here a few times. Usually the food is great, but I tried something new today and I didn’t really like it. I’ll stick to my usual. Overall good service and our appetizer and salad were great!

    One of our favorite restaurants for family, friends, or a business lunch. Lively indoors, a bit more laid back outside. Good menu selections, and the food is always delicious. Servers are friendly and efficient.
