    We went for lunch and started with the tuna tartare to share, which was delicious. However, after we finished, it took over 20 minutes for our entrees to arrive. I ordered a salad — it was just okay, nothing special, and definitely needed more dressing. I asked the waitress for extra, but it never came. We were sitting outside, and the restaurant didn’t seem busy. My husband had a burger, and he enjoyed it. Overall was an okay experience.

    I had a reservation at noon but a few wrong turns in an area unfamiliar to me made us late. I called and asked if we could still be accommodated. Emilia graciously reassured me that we would be welcome. My granddaughter and I were warmly greeted and seated upon arrival. Our waiter introduced himself and shared the specials and we began looking at the menu. Fifteen minutes later, I was looking around for our waiter when the manager approached. He offered to take our order, which was so kind. My granddaughter (F) ordered the donuts for us to share, and the Chicken Tenders from the Children's menu, and for me, the BLT. The manager acknowledged to F that the donuts were a specialty and an excellent choice. She was delighted. Minutes later, when he returned to our table, he apologized that they had run out of donuts. To F's delight, he offered the Banana bread as a substitute --on the house! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time together made even better by the attentiveness of the Manager. This was a special outing for us as we were celebrating her Birthday. Beautiful environment, excellent food and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

    Completely empty restaurant but we’re seated directly next to another couple. Should’ve asked to switch but didn’t and shouldn’t have to. Give people some room to enjoy their evening if it’s not crowded!

    Food wasn’t good. The last time we were here was in 2021, now I remembered why. Everything was great except for the food . We enjoyed the bread basket though, i fairness.

    Beautiful lunch with my sister. She the mushroom soup and tuna melt. I had the mushroom soup and curry chicken salad. Served perfectly as ordered. As an aside I had mentioned that it was her birthday. And our server, Michael, presented her with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a bone shaped cookie with a candle on top. Perfect!!!
