    It took over an hour to get our simple orders of hamburger with fries and my friend ordered salad and soup. Very disappointed in the service.

    We had a large group of people celebrating a special occasion. Staff were so accommodating and were able to seat us all together. The food was great and so was the ambience. Highly recommend!

    The food was really good, served hot to our table and there was a good portion on our plates. I like the fact that the menu has many options to choose from. Will definitely be coming back. Our server was really good as well, she kept following up to make sure everything was okay.

    Went there Easter Monday. Was very quiet that day. Food and service was well presented. Was there for a nice, long chat with my sister and we never felt the need to rush out. They are closed at 11pm so there was no rush. Would go there again

    Very poor quality food. Would not go back. But the service was kind and attentive, and the quality of the food was no fault of theirs.

    Appetizer (spinach dip) was not hot enough and poor quality. I think it was a frozen mix that was warmed up. Both main courses were poor. I had pad Thai. Didn’t like the spices and way too saucy. Husband had the ribs. Poor quality meat. It was Valentine’s Day so I realize it will be busy / slow. But server seemed inexperienced. Instead of asking if we wanted coffee or desert she said she was going to “wrap things up now”. Our food was served and we had to wait for napkins and cutlery.
