My friend ordered the beet salad. The yellow beets were hard to cut. She would have enjoyed some salad greens as a base for this salad. The Caesar salad was excellent. The carrots served with the trout were hard to cut. The beets and carrots definitely needed more cooking. The trout was delicious! We both asked for a wedge of lemon . Service was very good. Our server and the server assistants did an excellent job! We enjoyed our sundaes.

Too many sweet finger foods compared to savory. Some sort of quiche tart or something more savory to replace a sweet item.
