    Very nice experience - it was on a busy, busy Mother's Day, and the servers were racing around to keep everyone happy. Food was very good - the Squid appy is fantastic and everything else very good. We'll be back.

    Wonderful huge space with large windows and cascading light. Our server Andrew was particularly awesome as was the hostess. The 1/2 price bubbles were outstanding as was the Hummus platter and Guacamole and chips. Gold star all around.
