Overall, I wasn’t very impressed. The food was good, but not anything I haven’t had elsewhere. We got our apps quickly, but then our salads took a while to get. It almost felt like we were forgotten about. The service wasn’t bad, but at times could have been better.

great atmosphere and terrific service by Noela. We had a late afternoon family party and it was enjoyable. The Pizza and salads were very good but 2 of us were disappointed with our sandwiches being more bread than chicken. we would go again!

The food was really good. We notice their sanitation rating was an 88 and hesitated for a second but since the restaurant was packed decided to give it a try. Honestly I’m glad we did. The food had an excellent flavor (we had the chicken fettuccine and the salmon) and the portions we perfect. There’s a lot of reasons a restaurant can get dinged and I’m glad we were willing to give it a try.

The food came out swiftly but our waiter was absolutely terrible. He barely spoke to me and my husband. He was more interested in just standing there holding a conversation with the host. The manager was very pleasant. My wings were overcooked but the white burger my husband ordered and the forager pizza I ordered was delicious. Even when I needed the bill and Togo box the manager had to bring those things and when our waiter brought back the check he just dropped it on the table and left. I can understand if we were some difficult customers but we are always so chill and there to enjoy food. Our experience was MEH!
