The food was great! Parking was difficult, the wait staff was very slow, had to ask numerous times for the same items, did not remember drink orders.

We ordered: Parfait Chicken and waffles x 2 Spicy chicken sandwich The parfait said it came with berries but only came out with blueberries. We had a side cup of fruit with one of our entrees and there were strawberries, blackberries , and blueberries in the cup. So, the parfait could have came with more “berries” than just blueberries. I did not care for the chicken and waffles but my 15yr old son did. The chicken wings came in a hot and spicy honey sauce and the temperature of the wings were warm. The sauce had an okay taste but they were saturated in the sauce (which is thick) and detracted from the taste of the meal. The spicy chicken was overcooked (some parts burnt) and overly dry. Our waiter was great, the ambience was great, but the food itself was a major let down. I did let the waiter know our distaste for the wings so the manager took some off our bill. Really appreciate that. We went for brunch so maybe their dinner is better. The dinner menu did look far more appealing in the photos.
