    We had a wonderful Christmas celebration here today. Kelsey was our server. She did a fabulous job. We let her know we were on a little bit of a time crunch and she definitely did her very best. The food was great and the experience was fun. I highly recommend.

    It was our 28th wedding anniversary and we had a wonderful time. They even had a nice card on our table wishing a Happy Anniversary that the staff had signed. Food was great and service was on point. We even made reservations for Christmas Eve while we were there.

    We did a 3 course. Appetizer, salad and dessert. Would have liked a little more cheese. Our nacho chips were stale but they brought us some fresh ones. Didn’t care for the peppers and sausage that came with the appetizer. I would of rather had the different types of bread pieces like they use to. I think pretzels, celery, carrots or grape tomatoes would be good alternatives. Would like more apples. Would be neat if you could choose what items you want. The bananas were a little mushy. Felt like we were a little rushed through our meal. We were done in 45 minutes. Maybe offer a soup and salad combo? One of our favorite restaurants.
