    Took about 10 minutes waiting to be seated with a reservation. Hostess was missing in front, went inside and finally had to ask for a hostess. First impressions are everything! Server was very nice.

    Went for weekday lunch. Our order was slow to show up and incorrect. Discount was forgotten and took a bit to get it fixed. Food was good.

We’ll take your comments to heart and work to ensure a smoother experience in the future. We’d love to have the chance to make it right on your next visit. Thanks again for letting us know!
