    Had a wonderful dinner at Bumpkin's with family. Don't let the name fool you. While not upscale chic, Bumpkins is traditional with outstanding service and food. Min was very welcoming and attentive to our family of 4 adults and 2 children (8 and 6). Min took our drink and soup order (hubby was hungry) while we waited for the rest of the family. When they came, he immediately brought 2 baskets of fresh bread right out of the oven to hold the kids over. The restaurant has a varied selection of meals but they specialize in steak and seafood. The French onion soup my husband ordered came out piping hot. He said it was very good and with the proper cheese used. We ordered our meals and they came out without much of a wait. Steaks were done to perfections for all of us (med. rare, medium and medium plus). Grandson asked for a kids menu which they don't have but Min said "yes, they can accommodate to whatever the kids wanted". Grandson received a beautiful plate of crispy fried chicken breast cut to look like chicken strips, with fresh steamed veggies and fries. Can't remember the other dinners but all were perfect - fresh and spiced well. Dessert was delicious- chocolate and coconut ice cream tartuffi with a variety of berries. Very good value for dollars spent. We'll definitely go back. Entire staff was professional, attentive and very personable.
