    We booked days ahead to dine with friends with severe dietary restrictions from out of town. We were not told the entire restaurant was booked for a party and upon our arrival the hostess proceeded to seat us outside under a tarp on a cold and rainy evening. The server was pleasant and did his best. Due to the event our drinks & food were significantly delayed & my husband’s meal was inedible. Our server was apologetic and said it wasn’t right. This is my first negative review but hope the management has the courtesy in the future to notify customers of booked events and that outside seating is the only option.

    The hostess was not pleasant: We asked her to move us to another table and she said that there is nothing available until I found one. On the other hand, we had a great waitress! The food was only ok. It looks like they use fresh ingredients but the final dishes didn't have a lot of flavor. It was very loud in the restaurant and cold (it was a cold day but a little bit of heat would have been appreciated)

    Our waitress was Lauren and she was exceptional. Made sure we had plenty of silverware and waters and beverages. This was the first time for my 4 boys and hubby and everyone loved it! Thank you for a great experience. My son also was protected by your staff as girls tried to get him for senior assassin so that made the evening even more fun.

    Average food. Turkey burger's lower bun was soggy. No flavor. Gouda cheese was almost nonexistent. Side salad weak. Nice atmosphere. However will not return.

    The atmosphere is very nice, and the patio was warm and quieter than inside. The service was excellent. My only small criticism is my chicken Parmesan arrived barely warm. Our server offered to have it made again which was generous. However I didn’t want to wait while my family ate. Otherwise, I highly recommend.
