    The Beef and Barley soup was the perfect start on a very cold day. Service is professional and warm. The French Dip Sandwich is so tender it melts in your mouth! The underground parking is a huge plus on a bad-weather day!

    Kalin what is wonderful and kept all of our requests and his mind and quickly presented. We were surprised how busy it was, but the staff was efficient and they knew how to handle all the tables. There were five in our group. We all ordered something different and we all were very pleased with our dinners. We will go back!

    I love the crunch salad as there are SO many flavors & textures...My husband typically gets the jambalaya. Another reason we frequent NYAJs is the extensive options for gluten free me!

    Food was very good, service was excellent, did not have to yell to hear each other. What really made the evening special, though, was the care and concern the staff showed toward my friend who uses a walker and moves very slowly. They could not have been nicer in helping her get into the restaurant and then getting her into the car when the evening was over. Kudos to a great restaurant staff!
