    Bella was amazing! Our Valentines dinner was more than expected. We had a reservation that was treated with urgency and Araceli the (host) handled very well for how long the wait was. I believe the wait was over an hour from what others were saying around us. We haven’t dined here in awhile due to service and food quality..but yesterday was a huge turn around!! .We did wait over an hour for our food but we enjoyed our quality time together. Bella was the best server we ever had. Great overall communication and let us know the kitchen is backed up and suggested an appetizer. I Highly recommend her every time we will stop by again. Thank you Red Lobster for a special evening. Yes it was hectic but for us was handled very well.

    I finished every crumb of my chili relleno omelette. The house potatoes were a tasty complement to the omelette. The coffee was rich and smooth. I definitely want to return to try their carnitas omelette which my friend had for her brunch plate. The prices were reasonable which makes this a place I would gladly visit often. I like their mission of serving organic, farm-to-table foods. There is ample free parking behind the restaurant in a multi-storied parking structure.
