    I had lunch here with my in laws. The food is always good and the staff is great. The server we had today I had not had before and he was okay. Previously I have interacted with Katie and Emily as well - they were super friendly and helpful. We shared the avocado egg rolls and I had a poke bowl. My in laws had the tomato basil bisque. Everything was tasty. It was over lunch so it wasn’t super loud and it was nice and warm inside.

    It was a good dining experience. . . Roomy and the place was not too loud. I had mushroom risotto (which I shared with my son) and my husband had ribeye and a chocolate mousse we shared after the meal. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server was exceptional. We’re glad to hear that they will resume their lunch hours. We will definitely go back.
