    Personally the food I ordered tasted okay, the service was pretty slow, the waiter himself had good humor and was sweet but just overall slow service and took forever to get our food.

    Both hostesses greeted us with annoyed looks on their face and were not friendly or engaging. I asked them for a booster which they promptly never brought. Server was forgetful and slow. Brought us coffees that were not even halfway filled in the cups. Perhaps the kicker is after waiting a long time for checks, there was an automatic gratuity of 20% for a “large party” of four adults and two children. Service was not 20% level nor is 6 people a large party. Very disappointing overall experience.

    Always a great spot for us! We regularly visit for happy hour as a large group and we are always taken care of. Staff is wonderful and attentive. We just miss the bubbles being on the HH menu 🤣! Highly recommend for large groups and for everyday lunch or dinner!

    First time dining here. We were pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. We all got something different for brunch and everything was excellent! Our server was attentive but not overly so. Excellent experience. We will be back!

    There were 3 in our party, with 2 first timers. We had a wonderful experience. Staff was attentive, friendly, had great personalities and checked on us in a timely manner. Happy hour menu had a variety of wonderful selections. Dinner menu was great and the food was excellent! We look forward to our next visit.

    Disappointed in the lack of gluten-free options and the server's lack of knowledge on dietary restrictions, but he might've just been having a bad day. The food was tasty! I sat outside on the patio and was surprised to see another table allowing their (small) dog to be on the table and drink from the water bowl that was on the table. I'm a dog owner and dog lover, but there needs to be considerations.
