   We were disappointed in the food…edible but not flavorful or exciting. The waiter was very nice, but a bit harried. Wait staff didn’t act like they wanted to be there, with coat still on, ready to get out of the building. Just a little underwhelming experience

   Our server was very slow and made mistakes - spent most of her time saying “I’m sorry.” Forgot to bring our beverages and then everything we ordered came all at once before the beverages arrived. The salad was so overdressed and unappealing, I couldn’t eat it. Also we don’t know if there’s a connection, but my husband didn’t feel well after eating the clam chowder. We had eaten the same things all day except for the clam chowder. The restaurant is inviting and friendly, but we were very disappointed overall.

   So glad the calamari appetizer is back! Adding the banana peppers, nice touch. Excellent service from Nick and Ben, like always.

   Great little spot in Willow Glen. We had a wonderful server. The food was good! We were celebrating a friend's birthday. She had never been and commented that she would love to come again.

    Yummy food, great service and a free Sundae for my MIL 82nd birthday. Noise level allowed us to talk without issues (she also wears a hearing aid). Reshing margarita from the bar topped off the evening.
