    We felt our waitress was neglecting us due to age and what we had ordered (We ordered sandwiches instead of meals. My husband ordered a beer, I ordered a soda (I’m pregnant)). And when we ordered our drinks and food, she gave us a nasty look both times. Almost like a “that’s it’s.. you’re kidding me” kinda look. She barely checked on us or asked if we needed anything (Both my husband and I could have used refills on our drinks but figured it wasn’t worth the ask). She paid more attention to her other tables and had full blown conversations with them (They were older folks). The food was delicious but again service was horrible. Even the hostess looked like she hated her job. To say we would go back, doubtful.

    It was a bit hard to find the entrance to this place (we had never been there and there were multiple buildings set close together), but when we got there the staff was welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious. We had a Boursin/goat cheese plate for an appetizer, and salmon for dinner - everything came out perfect! The drinks were great, the coffee was exceptional, and for Valentine’s Day we were given complementary chocolate covered strawberries. Denise is a wonderful server. We will be back!

    The facility is lackluster and waitress was inattentive and disappeared for long periods of time (we had to wait a long time to get the bill). The chefs skills were evident in cooking and flavoring of veal (polenta side was excellent), short ribs and mussels (Andouille sausage broth excellent). The scallops (only 5 small) were overcooked and risotto was clumpy. Two of the 3 cheeses on the board were excellent and the meat addition was quite good. White sangria was disappointing as the grapefruit overpowered the preferable raspberry and peach flavors. The orange chocolate torte was quite good (perfect flavor balance). The apple butter cake had great potential (except for heavy nutmeg flavor) but should have been served warm with vanilla ice cream.
