    Always a nice option away from the Memorial City hustle and bustle. The restaurant was packed during our visit so a little louder than normal but still very manageable and easy to have conversation. Food is always tasty and a good value.

    The food and drinks were very good as usual.  The service was outstanding. Unfortunately, I needed to take one star away because the inside dining room had a fly issue.
