Always a pleasant lunch. Wish the reflecting pool could get fixed but not in restaurant staff’s purview.

Nice venue. Had a seat by the window but not much to look at as the reflecting pool is being renovated.

Thank you for holding our reservation beyond the expected time of arrival with our phone call. We had a car and had to return home for our other car. Then because of today’s marathon we couldn’t take the fastest route. We’re grateful you accommodated us. We enjoyed our burgers and fries and made it to the concert on time. Bravo for great service!
