We had the place to ourselves on a Sunday morning at 8 am. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious to the eyes and taste buds. By 9:30 the kitchen was busy preparing take-out orders and a few more people were beginning to arrive. We look forward to returning again before the end of our vacation.

Great service! We were disappointed that Papa Noel did not provide a sussie gift to our daughter as in years past. However, the kitchen was able to accommodate my gluten and dairy intolerance. The substitutions were so tasty!
