    We ordered tuna and brisket paninis. Tuna was great but brisket was tough. The drinks were also very good. But came after food even though they were ordered way before.

    Hit or miss on where they seat you at very specific times. Some chairs are unbearably uncomfortable. Food is good though.

    This was our first unpleasant evening because the noise level was excessive, so loud that even when we pulled the curtains the table just outside the alcove was so noisy we couldn't have a conversation. And for the first time my food was overcooked (the Honey fried chicken...oh no!) We were a party of 7, and had hoped for a quiet get together. After ordering at 6:10 the food didn't arrive until after 7pm which was unusually slow for this wonderful restaurant. So, it was a 4-star evening instead of 5.

    Wonderful service at lunch. We told the server we wanted to just chat awhile and she was very respectful. The food was fresh, flavorful and ample. We shared a sandwich with soup on the side and the server didn't blink at our request. I would return in a minute!

    Three of us had brunch on Easter. Got seated promptly and waitress was fantastic! Service was great and we all enjoyed our food choices. Sat outside on a beautiful day. We will definitely make this one of our regular restaurants.
