Drinks like the Paper Plane , appetizer Green eggs and ham , and oh yes my favorite is the chicken pot pie the best around made in a cast iron skillet and big. Great for a date or girls night out. 5 stars all the way around. Parking is good also Broadway plaza and then you can do some retail therapy after eating and drinking.
