    $32 for 3 ounces of chicken and a little bowl of sweet potatoes and mushrooms and a cold mug of hot chocolate. Way overpriced for what you get. The flavors today were different also and not as umami as they once were.

    Clean relaxing atmosphere. Healthy menu, great options, full bar, and tasty beverages. Had the cashew beet queso with drinks as a starter. Outstanding. Then to the filet chef special, brussel sprouts, and fingerling potatoes. Outstanding.

    We have been several times and today did not live up to the standard we have experienced previously. The food was fair, not their usual quality, however the service was very good.
