    Our waitress was wonderful! But it seems that the kitchen has a hard time keeping up with the orders! The other personal problem is that I personally don’t like the seasoning that the restaurant uses.

    Food was great but realize the chili is really hot, couldn't finish it. I also would have liked the ahimsa tuna to be cooked a bit longer. Other than that meals were great for everyone else.

    Wings were extremely dry. Tasted like they were made 2-3 days ago. Spinach artichoke dip wasn’t very hot was more like warm. Our server was great. Very tentative, waters always filled. Food needs work

    It was good, but more mediocre than anything. They need a bigger parking lot.
