This was my second visit to the restaurant and both times have been excellent. Our server was very helpful in giving her recommendation of what to have and we were delighted with our lunch. My friends and I commented all evening on how tasty and perfect our meal had been. Great job! More

the place felt dirty,old and worn.The menu was limited and the desserts were few and had run out of most Clearly they do not make much on site.The cake I ordered came out of a box the was stashed behind the bar. I was surprized they remember to take the divider paper from the cake before she served it. More
