    We had a wonderful Christmas celebration here today. Kelsey was our server. She did a fabulous job. We let her know we were on a little bit of a time crunch and she definitely did her very best. The food was great and the experience was fun. I highly recommend.

    It was our 28th wedding anniversary and we had a wonderful time. They even had a nice card on our table wishing a Happy Anniversary that the staff had signed. Food was great and service was on point. We even made reservations for Christmas Eve while we were there.

    Always a great time. Kaylee usually waits on us and is awesome, but this time Zoha (Z) waited on us and she was awesome as well. We have been going 20 plus years and it never disappoints.

    We did a 3 course. Appetizer, salad and dessert. Would have liked a little more cheese. Our nacho chips were stale but they brought us some fresh ones. Didn’t care for the peppers and sausage that came with the appetizer. I would of rather had the different types of bread pieces like they use to. I think pretzels, celery, carrots or grape tomatoes would be good alternatives. Would like more apples. Would be neat if you could choose what items you want. The bananas were a little mushy. Felt like we were a little rushed through our meal. We were done in 45 minutes. Maybe offer a soup and salad combo? One of our favorite restaurants.
