    Usually one of my favorite spots, have brought people here several times. But was super disappointed this time by the changed menu which looked promising but didn’t live up to it taste wise, service (slow and forgot my main) and also the courtyard had a party where they turned the music off in the restaurant and then we had to hear bday speeches on the speaker IN the restaurant for the rest of our meal!?? Very very odd experience.

    The food was very good but the menu is very limited and at 7 pm we were told that one of the dishes was no longer available. That made the menu more limited yet. The patio is beautiful and they have heaters which helps in a cold night. The desert was also good. Overall, it was nice although it took a long time to get served the food on a slow night. We were not in a hurry but it may bother other diners.

    Unfortunately it was a light rainy day and we could not have a seat at that beautiful patio but, as usual, the food and service was outstanding. I will also try their happy hour from Monday-Saturday from 3-6 pm.

    A charming place. Two of our diners were served their meals long before the other two. We told them not to wait but to eat it while hot. They had nearly finished by the time the other meals arrived. Most of the food was delicious although they were out of several items at 7:00 on a Saturday. A 20% service fee was excessive. Parking is $15

    Didn’t know the restaurant was in a motel but the food was good and it was pretty cute. Might go back for a casual dinner.

    Quaint and lovely setting. Small menu but, wonderful variety. Our food was delicious. The cocktails are a bit pricey, and we were charged for an extra beer, however they took it off the ticket when we brought to their attention.
