We had a wonderful lunch. Dave, our server, was delightful and attentive. Four of us dined. Two chicken Caesar salads, French onion soup and one Shanghai salad and the steak tacos Special, plus an order of truffle fries. We loved that the chicken Caesar was chopped up nicely in bite-size pieces and very fresh, as was the Shanghai chicken salad. Everything was delicious, as always, and we will continue to come back

It was fantastic. Portions were big for two people, but would be perfect for four. Would suggest having smaller options for two. I hope they keep doing this.
