        Fantastic experience. Great service - attentive, provided good recommendations, friendly. We were large party of 8 and they never missed a beat. We tried the majority of the menu and everything was very good and interesting. Very nice space. Banana cream pie was awesome and cotton candy was fun.

        Very good spot. Fries check salad, flatbreads and drinks all spot on. The 100 layer potato is different but very tasty
