    It was a cold, cloudy, rainy day, and we finished our adventures an hour early, so I called Massey’s Kitchen to see if we could come nearly one hour early, and was told “absolutely! I’m cleaning a table now for you!”. Fifteen minutes later we were greeted well, and seated. Our server was fabulous and the food delicious! We enjoyed our meals and conversations. The restrooms were clean and stocked. It was a great experience!

    The food was very good. Service was okay, but our wait staff disappeared for long stretches once we got our food. 4 meals came out before the 5th one. That was weird.
