Our server was very kind and considerate so without us even asking, he saw our 2 kids and got us 2 ketchups for our 1 order of truffle parmesan fries without our even asking! We came on a Monday so it was pretty quiet. Ambiance in the back where we say was definitely the look of a hotel lobby where you get your breakfast because it’s part of the package. But the food itself was tasty! I’d get take out or eat at the bar, but not sit in the back. We would have done outdoor patio but it was windy.
