We truly enjoy this this restaurant at ESCENA. All is great as to food and service. Sad part is when they remodeled, they made a choice to put outdoor patio furniture inside. Not the old club and upholstered chairs that used to be there. It makes the atmosphere a bit like a cheesy pizza parlor .

Great experience overall: food, ambience, service. Only disappointing thing was that maple syrup was listed on the pancake menu, but fake maple w high fructose corn syrup was served.
