    Food overcooked (bread and sweet potato fries), too much cumin (overpowering flavor) in the pasta dish, fish tacos way too spicy. Service super slow. We asked to get our corrected food to go because it took so long and everyone else was done. Even when they brought our corrected dishes over and I reminded them that I had asked for it in a to go box, they disappeared with the corrected order for an extraordinary amount of time. Ginger ale tasted funny like sparkling apple juice. We had to get up to leave so they’d bring us the check. Very disappointing. Was nothing like this when we were there in the Fall. What happened? Nothing adjusted on the bill either.

    Got the family together for Easter, and the food was great. We have vegan, vegetarian, and meat eaters in our family, and everyone was happy with their meal.

    Great food all around. Salmon was really good, as well as the roasted chicken and the pasta dishes. Drinks were spot on!

    We had a great after theater meal here. There were 7 of us and all our meals were very good. Our server did well and split the check 3 ways. We’ll be back for sure. Cheers
