    Menu had promising diversity, but the food was only so-so and the poached eggs on both dishes were cold.

    Service was great. Apps were good but entrees (chicken sandwich, salmon burger) were rather lukewarm and meh. Fries were hot.

    Someone from our party has a good amount of allergies which are sometimes difficult to accommodate. Server was great at communicating with the kitchen. Kitchen did a great job of adjusting what they could! It was a great visit... server was attentive, drinks were great, food was very good. I'm looking forward to my next visit!!
