    Overall our experience was great. The food was delicious, but unfortunately, the potatoes on two of our plates were cold. They did remake those orders and took the entrees off our bill. We will be going back.

    Waitress was very good. It was not very busy when we placed our order but our food sat under the "heat lamps" for at least 5 minutes and came out lukewarm . My fries had hair in it, a long blonde hair. I waved the waitress down to let her know. She said they would make me a new meal which was fine by me. She also offered to bring me a soup or salad while I waited for my new meal, which was very nice but I declined because I did not want to be too full for my actual meal.I look over at the kitchen because it is an open concept and sure enough one of the people in there is a female with long blonde hair in a ponytail. She should be required to wear it in a bun or wear a hair net. Food was decent for the price.
