    We went with our selection already made. We had a craving for the fried chicken salad. It did not disappoint. Service was attentive and quick without being overbearing or feeling rushed. They have their lunch program down pat.

    We were very disappointed with our last visit. We ordered the filet which we had ordered several times before and it was delicious but this time both of our steaks were tough and undercooked. The weather was not great and we had a later reservation & we definitely felt rushed since the restaurant was in closing down mode the whole time.
