    The decor of this restaurant is very sweet and pleasing, made to look like a real backyard. It's cozy. Our server was very friendly and got all of our orders correctly and timely. If you're an iced tea lover, don't get theirs. It's not "real" - it's fountain iced tea and tastes nothing like iced tea should taste. Their prices are competitive but still high, as all others are.

    Heard good reviews and they are well deserved. We had the Breakfast/ Lunch menu. They had a good selection at reasonable price points and generous portions. Our meals were: Chicken Caprese, the Famous Pineapple Bowl with grilled Shrimp (w/o teriyaki sauce) and a side of sweet potato fries. Ambiance is very nice, servers were attentive and we weren’t bunched together with other guests. Menu offers meals with wholesome ingredients and they even have non-diary milk options. Definitely returning!

    Our first time here but would return. The presentation of the foods was extraordinary. We saw the pumpkin soup and BBQ wagon delivered to the other tables. I had one of the specials, delicious and my friend had the cavitelli presented in a bread bowl. Walking distance to the Count Basie.
