    Ate outside. And they were very busy with a private event and many golfers. Figured service would be very slow, so we’re very surprised at the great service. Soup, which are generally excellent was great. Menu had many new items and waiter offered other specials. I had soup and the Philadelphia cheese steak sliders. Was a little cool with the wind, but a pleasant lunch which i share with a former colleague and my wife

    We sat outside which was wonderful, as it was much quieter. The variety, quality and abundance of choices was just incredible.

    Everything I had was outstanding. I usually try to take half my meals home but I ate every bite. The atmosphere, we sat outside, was so calm and inviting.
