    Brought my dad and his business partners here for dinner. Our first time dining, the staff were accommodating with my adding people to my reservation which I appreciated. Food was delicious. We sat on the patio which was a bit noisy but that’s to be expected next time a busy road. They do not validate or discount parking. Our server was good but slow, he was not super attentive and took a long time to come get our dinner and our dessert orders. Can we start adding QR codes on menus to bring us to a pdf version of the menu in other languages? Some of my dad’s business partners are Spanish speaking and it was a bit more difficult for them to navigate the menu. Overall an enjoyable and delicious experience and will dine here again.

    Caesar Salad is very good, but the Beet and Chicken Salad is even better! It would be nice if bread was served with a salad.
