    The Caesar salad was great. The rest of the meal was disappointing. Appetizer onion rings were crispy on the outside but raw on the inside. I ordered filet mignon, a salmon filet was set in front of me. Wife opted for the chicken and pasta, a speciality of the house (?). She said it was too salty to eat. Paid the bill and went elsewhere. Would not recommend listening to the hype on this restaurant.

    The food was excellent. Everyone who worked there was very nice and they accommodated us when we needed to move from outside to inside. Good for kids. Plenty of choices for everyone. Highly recommend

    We had such a nice dinner here. I want to preface this by saying me and my date had worked in the service industry for years and were very impressed by the service. It all started at the front desk, we were greeted by the host and the manager sat us. She got us water and gave us some beer and cocktail recommendations (it’s always a good sign to see a manager who knows what their selling) I ordered the bourbon bruze and my date had the lemon basil martini, both amazing, not too sweet. Our server was also great, she was so friendly and very present but didn’t hover or make us feel rushed. The food was decent, nice portions and overall good flavor, but it’s definitely a place where you come back for the vibe. We’ve been traveling a lot recently and we’ve been to a lot of restaurants and it was refreshing to be in a place with friendly staff that are happy to be there.

    As a surprise to my son and his fiancé, I reserved a table. My husband and I like eating there very much so I thought it was the perfect gift to give. However, my son‘s fiancé had bugs in her meal. It was pointed out, and the food was taken away, and there was an offer to make it again. But she had just lost her appetite at finding a bug, and the date night didn’t go well. They did not charge her for her dinner, which makes sense because she couldn’t eat it with bugs in it. I really would have appreciated her receiving some kind of a gift card so that she could be welcomed back and you could give her another shot at tasting some really good food. I don’t believe I’m going back with my husband if this isn’t rectified with my daughter-in-law. It doesn’t make sense to not charge someone for food that they can’t eat and not make it right. . She still needed to eat dinner and is diabetic, but was completely turned off to the food. Things happen, I understand that, but the right thing would’ve been to give her a food, voucher or gift certificate so she could come back in and then you would’ve earned a loyal customer instead of losing the customer base of our family.

    We had a great experience at the restaurant for my nephew’s birthday. We were greeted promptly and seated. The food was good. From the appetizers to the entrees. My nephew even received a complimentary dessert for his birthday. We will definitely be back.

    So the weekend brunch menu changed. Sadly not a glowing review 1. Staff were excellent 2. Omelets very good 3. Sausage was cold Really sorry that the old menu is gone. The corn beef hash with potatoes - my favorite is gone. Bad news. Why I went today. Not available Avocado toast - my wife favorite - not available. Be hard to return. Please reconsider the fate of the avocado toast and the corned beef hash with red potatoes and eggs options.

    The manager, Marcus, server Rachel and Chef Luis were amazing. Very friendly. The food was delicious for the brunch buffet. I tried probably half of everything. The omelette was wonderful. Not too heavy. Chocolate mousse was fantastic. Apple cobbler, Danish and hummus was amazing.
