   It was busy, noisy and tightly packed. I went with a girlfriend for a pre-Christmas get together and we couldn’t get out of there quick enough. The food was great, the experience was not. I felt sorry for the staff, who were having to deal with way too many people crammed in.

   Service poor this time. Very slow to take order. Sent wrong food and then when they brought the right food it was cold. Ordered a second coffee and didn’t get it until asking three times. Impossible to get servers’ attention. Have eaten there a lot and usually very good but really disappointing this time.

   I don’t know what has changed in the past year yet it now feels like it is more of a big chain than a local small one. We will not be back.

A warm welcomed was missed and attention too . Not sure we will come back sooner
