                We had a wonderful dining experience. Our server Allie made our evening enjoyable and she explained the dishes that we were ordering which helped us to decide. Allie was very professional and personable and we did not feel rushed as our appetizer, meal and dessert were brought to us with plenty of time to enjoy them. It is a nice quiet dining experience and the food was just amazing. We will be back again.

                Always a good dining experience. Very quiet for lunch today, but food and service were excellent, as always. A little pricey for lunch.

                Ordered off the menu and the food was ok. Poached eggs were firm on the inside when the yolk should have ran out when cut into. The gluten free bread was only toasted on one side. Omelette was tasty. Just an overall average meal.
