Don’t order the salads. The lettuce in my Cobb salad was not fresh; boiled eggs and bacon were chopped so finely they didn’t add any flavor to the salad

We were a party of 7 on a early Saturday evening. There was no long wait time to be seated, our server, Danny, was very professional and personable. He double checked orders before he sent them to the kitchen and he made sure we had what we needed without coming over too much.

The manager called before our reservation to confirm if a high top was ok for our group and was sensitive to it being a business lunch. The table was in a corner which helped with noise reduction. Benjamin, our server, was amazing and super personable.
