"Our waitress (Melissa?) is always very good and especially helpful with my meal orders in regards to my varied food allergies. Likewise, the rest of the wait-staff has also been very helpful in that regard, which makes me return frequently with friends and family since I know I'll be served a safe yet flavorful and satisfying meal."

"We went there for brunch/lunch. My fritatta was very tasty but greasy as were the potatoes. Coffee was watery. My husband's cobb salad did not have much lettuce and the french fries were greasy/cold - clearly warmed over from night before.
The service was non-existent - except for one time, we had to call waiter over for everything..."

"Two of us got two apps and two entrees. For apps, mussels were succulent and decent-size and cesar salad was decent. The dry-aged steak was cooked to order, but the ahi tuna steak was over-cooked (ordered medium but received almost well-done). The dessert brownie ice cream sundae recommended by the waiter was tooth-achingly sweet. The service was very attentive. Overall, a so-so experience although we'd had better at this place."

"This was my second time there and it was not as good as the first. The first time was great, this time left something to be desired. The pizza I had lacked character. It was way too greasy and had no flavor at all. The homemade sausage on the pizza was good but not good enough to say the pizza, not to mention there was not enough of it on there. The service was good, no complaints there. I will go there again and I look forward to a more enjoyable and satisfying meal."
