What a pleasant surprise. There were 6 of us, 3 elderly and hard of hearing, who chose to have a nice lunch with conversation at a neighborhood eatery. We could not believe what we discovered: the service was outstanding, the food was reasonably priced but tasted fresh and delicous and big portions, and we could hear each other talk. Even my dad who wears two hearing aids could hear. The parking was easy and convienent and the people were so very friendly. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back when we come back to visit.
