Our server was so good at his job! He was very personable and he made us feel at home. When I was ordering food I was torn between 2 different dishes, he lead me in one direction but then brought me a complimentary side of the other dish, without asking, as a surprise to me. If comfort food is what you are after then visiting this place.
