    Been here many times and always order the Ahi Tuna Salad, I love their flavor, very tasty. But this time, for some reason, the dish was sour and salty. I don't understand why salads have to be salty? The lighter the salad, the better.

    The service was great, timely and attentive but not hovering. The problem was the chicken in my Waldorf salad and my wife's was raw in the middle, not even close to cooked. I haven't sent something back in years but this was not safe. The server did take it off the bill. Stuff happens once in a while, we have been there before and it has been great. The other 3 in our party loved the buffalo chicken pizza (2) and the meat loaf. I would go again but not order chicken.

    Food was excellent. We asked to sit outside, but the chairs were not very comfortable, and the tables were wobbly. Our waitress was great though. Next time, we'll sit inside.

    We really enjoyed the food and goos service. But the loud music and the choice of music (for Mother's day!) was pretty inappropriate. Knowing the sound levels of the music, I would think twice about returning.

    Our waiter Evan was great, attentive and friendly. The menu has been reduced since our last visit and portions seemed smaller.
