Abby was excellent as a waitress. She was prompt in serving us but did not rush us as we wanted a leisurely lunch. Food was prepared perfect and was delivered hot. The Asst GM Travis came to table and we had a nice conversation. Will definitely be back.

Both of our waitresses were very friendly. We got our food in a timely manner. The only thing that would be negative is hearing the waitstaff complain out loud about low tips. Maybe talk somewhere else away from customers.
