Food was average as was the service. The noise from the bar was disturbing - hard to have a normal conversation. They need acoustic ceiling tiles to absorb the noise.

I had the special soup (Sweet Potato And Parsnip Bisque) is was flavorful and rich. Followed by the Medetertian Salad. Love the combination of cool vegies and warm frill polenta. My husband had the coconut shrimp (four big fat ones) and a garden salad-the garden salad is BIG, fresh and crunch. We are regulars here- as you can COUNT on the good service, good food and fair pricing.

Second floor you can feel a vibration especially by the bar area - sitting farther away the vibration lessens. The food was good and quick, wait time was minimal.

We reserved & asked for a booth for 4 , when we arrived there was only a table for 4 but they had sat one couple in our booth for 4 . Not very nice for a regular customer. Please on requests in future when accomodation requested was available

We were seated upstairs in a large open dining room that had no character. It resembled a community center or the church multi-purpose room. Very disappointing atmosphere. Food was fair, nothing exciting or unique. We tried it and will not go back.
