    Nice atmosphere, open to the street in good weather. My husband loves the Cajun chicken Alfredo and the burgers.

    Very good food, great but very busy waitress. Seems like they could have a better use of resources if one of the two hostesses could clean tables, wash glasses that were gathering at the bar, etc. The volume was such that one of the hostesses could have helped in other areas rather than just standing at the entrance with the other hostess.

    It was just OK. Nobody was really jazzed about their dish. In fact, some said the gravy/sauce was too sweet.

    They brought out entrees out before apps. They took the entrees back and remade our entrees but my entree was cold. The caprese dip was sooo delicious and best thing I ate. I paid for extra bacon with Brie basil and bacon pasta and only got 5 bits. The service was wonderful, our server was patient and informative. It got really cold as the day continued.
