A large variety of options to choose from, especially the vegetarian options were magnificent and lots to choose from. Our server, Dillon, went above and beyond and really made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend the giant pretzel and deluxe donut sundae!

Amazing food and great service. The lobster spaghetti was top class. Our waitress gave an excellent wine paring for the pasta and she was extremely good with the way she made us feel welcomed. We were there for my wife’s birthday, and they accommodated us with a sparkler and a personal birthday wish note, which added a nice touch to the whole evening. Overall an excellent experience and would definitely visit again !

It was fine, some of the food was overcooked. For the price it was a great amount of food but it was prepared adequately.
