    Had lunch here today with a friend. We both ordered the butternut squash and kale salad. I added grilled shrimp to mine. The portion was small for the price but it was a unique and delicious salad. We ordered the mud pie for dessert, which was delicious but incredibly rich so had to bring half of it home. No complaints! Good restaurant and our server Isabel was perfect.

    Food was delicious and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. There was a three person band performing that made the evening even more fun - they were awesome!

    The food tasted good, but was not hot when it got to our table other than the app which was freshly cooked and took quite a bit to come out(didn’t mind the wait). Our server was very kind but did not come over after food almost at all. It could’ve been an odd day, although server was very kind it wasn’t what I would expect for upscale dining. I think the food would’ve been much tastier if it was hot. We didn’t have time to ask for more because we had to be somewhere. I’ll go again one day to give another try, but overall the experience could’ve been better.

    Food was great. First time and we tried various starters and entrees. The ribs were delicious, fried chicken had a good and unique flavor. The shrimp on crispy rice was fantastic. Will be back to try other options.
