Food was great except for burger which hd no taste. Our first table was near the front door and it was so cold you could not sit there without a coat. The manager was great and moving us to a new table.

Perfect spot for a casual birthday breakfast with family. The restaurant is very kid- and family-friendly. Our server was amazing and very attentive, especially to my gluten allergy.

Good start with the staff noting the request for a quiet table for two and finding a good locatio. Service was slow but friendly. Waitress noted it was a birthday but restaurant did nothing like offer a dessert or describe any specials. Calamari was overly crisp. Salads were decent. Pasta was overly salty with too much oregano. Crab cake was too salty. Overall the food was over-priced given the quality. Waitress forgot to bring the itemized bill - just took the card. Would not return if given the choice.

It was a birthday celebration which I noted in the reservation but no acknowledgement was given. That’s okay, but I was somewhat disappointed in the menu options and my entree was definitely underwhelming. Too bad.
