    The water is still gravel. The view sub par. The server kind, attentive, caring. The hostess allowed us to chose our seats although view over all not optimal. Thank you for birthday card. A birthday dessert would be a nice compliment. Wendy A. Tilley

    Don’t really ever write reviews and I’ve never had to send back food but the temperature of both of the entrees today were lukewarm. I had to send back the Chilaquiles as it was literally cold when I took the first bite. We also had the biscuits and gravy, and while it wasn’t cold it was just luke warm. Not sure I’d ever come back here if every dish comes out like it’s been sitting out for 10 minutes before it arrives. Other than that the service was outstanding and our server was understanding. Again I literally never complain or send back food but I had to do it today. Please figure out a way to keep the food warm!

    Server wasn’t as attentive and friendly as she was with other tables. My friend observed the difference.
