The room is very nice, clean and service was excellent. The menu was rather small and they did not have my 1st choice available. Fish and Chips were delicious. The grilled Caesar Salad was mediocre. The added chicken was spiced with curry (?). Odd to put with a Caesar. Overall we enjoyed but would like to see more choices.","rating":{"food":4,"service":5,"ambience":5,"value":3,"noise":"QUIET","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":36,"nickname":"Andi","metro":{"metroId":3,"displayName":"Chicago","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"A","isVip":true,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PLUM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":{"xsmall":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xsmall/1/64304943.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-05-02T16:58:19Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-05-01T16:30:00-05:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1311529-14085-170014169247","text":"Very tasty food, well prepared, fast and attentive service, fun atmosphere.","rating":{"food":4,"service":5,"ambience":5,"value":5,"noise":"DO_NOT_RECALL","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":38,"nickname":"Gary","metro":{"metroId":80,"displayName":"California Central Coast","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"G","isVip":true,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PLUM","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":{"xsmall":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xsmall/1/64413612.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-29T02:19:46Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-28T17:45:00-05:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[{"photoId":"77141792","type":null,"photoMetaData":{"title":null,"source":"Diner","creator":"OpenTable","timestamp":"2025-04-29T02:19:56Z","photoBySize":{"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/1/77141792.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/1/77141792.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"xlarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xlarge/1/77141792.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/1/77141792.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideLarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-large/1/77141792.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PhotoMetadata"},"caption":null,"showCaption":true,"__typename":"ReviewPhoto"},{"photoId":"77141795","type":null,"photoMetaData":{"title":null,"source":"Diner","creator":"OpenTable","timestamp":"2025-04-29T02:20:05Z","photoBySize":{"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/1/77141795.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/1/77141795.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"xlarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xlarge/1/77141795.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/1/77141795.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideLarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-large/1/77141795.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PhotoMetadata"},"caption":null,"showCaption":true,"__typename":"ReviewPhoto"},{"photoId":"77141797","type":null,"photoMetaData":{"title":null,"source":"Diner","creator":"OpenTable","timestamp":"2025-04-29T02:20:12Z","photoBySize":{"small":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/small/1/77141797.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"medium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/medium/1/77141797.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"xlarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/xlarge/1/77141797.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideMedium":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-medium/1/77141797.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"wideLarge":{"url":"https://resizer.otstatic.com/v2/photos/wide-large/1/77141797.jpg","__typename":"Photo"},"__typename":"PhotoSizes"},"__typename":"PhotoMetadata"},"caption":null,"showCaption":true,"__typename":"ReviewPhoto"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1311529-14387-140004913694","text":"Lovely.
