    Food was great as always, however felt rushed, even though lots of tables were empty. Not asked if we wanted a second drink. Had to ask for water. Nothing indicated we were dining on New Year’s Eve.

    Best place for a great value and comfort food. Wait staff is attentive but not overly attentive. Gorgeous holiday decorations. Will be returning.

    I ordered fish and chips. Fries were burned and soggy and fish was not hot. Another fish and chips was hot and not burned. Others in my party had better meals. Chicken Caesar wrap had mostly chicken and little to no lettuce or dressing. Hard to find your way around. Plenty of parking but not obvious where to find the dining room.
