    Food was good but could have been warmer. The fries were almost cold.

    We are late around 9:00pm, the restaurant was almost completely empty but service was still a little slow at times and a food selection we ordered was not available. The food we had was great, we started with the Diver Scallops and each of us had the Seafood Louie and shared a cream burlee' for dessert. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back again.

    Service was exceptional. Our waitress remembered our food order without writing anything down and she got it correct. The food however wasn’t that good. Hamburgers were bland garlic truffle fries were bland too didn’t taste any garlic seasoning. Chicken on chicken burger was dry.
