    Lennox is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He was accommodating, warm, and had a great sense of humor. He went above and beyond for us and made our dinner special. 10/10.

    Staff was friendly, but slow. Ourr server seemed to go missing quite a bit and we sat with empty drinks for a while and had to request extra sauce from 3 different people. Food was delicious!

    Server was pleasant but kind of robotic and rushed and often didn't seem to be paying attention to what we were saying. Wouldn't take our drink order after we asked and said to wait a second while we give it to them, and I had to finally stop them before they started making our cheese course so I could order a drink. Food was generally good but the cream puffs were rock hard frozen and when we asked to have them taken off the bill our waitress said she could "melt them in the microwave". Coffee mugs are designed poorly so that the mug itself gets so hot it burns when you touch the barrel, so you can't drink out of it if the coffee is filled to the top. We've been coming for many years and things have definitely gone downhill especially in the service department.

    Our server Daniel was awful. He barely spoke to us, he had trouble looking us in the eye and at one point dropped a piece of food and put it back on the plate apologizing "dont worry, my hands are clean".
