    The food was an excellent! Serving sizes were perfect we couldn’t even get to desert! I recommend the pretzel appetizers as well, got them every night! The bartender knows their drinks as well as the wait staff, who by the way are very pleasant and knowledgeable! I highly recommend the breakfast too! We did all three meals and not once were we disappointed. Service was fast as well.
