    Waitress Nicole was very good. We were the first of the morning to be sat so ordering and food delivery was quick. The only reason I didn't give 5star for food was we both asked for eggs over EASY and they came Medium. We could've returned them but we didn't. It was still good.

    Great overall. We were sat outside, which was a little chilly, but the heat lamps did well enough. The waiter was a little quiet and didn't come around too frequently, which honestly worked for us very well as we had a lot to talk about. Food was certainly the highlight, unique and tasty offerings, artichoke eggrolls were unexpectedly good and my pork chop was fantastic!
