    Our waitress was extraordinary. She made sure that we had what we needed, that our order was precise on delivery and that we could have just the right amount of attention or lack of attention.

    We had a hair cooked in one of our appetizers. To say the least, the rest of dinner was hard to enjoy.

    Lunch menu is disappointing. Limited options. Odd selection of sandwiches (does anyone like tilapia?). Ordered what I thought was a chicken Parmesan panini, but it was a sloppy soggy mess on a huge roll that was impossible to eat gracefully. Although not on the menu, we requested (and graciously received) a caprese salad. Seems like should be a staple.

    Food is excellent...very high quality and fresh so don't mind paying more. However some dishes and drinks are a bit overpriced

    Nick, who greeted you at the door was very personable. We had a wonderful time. The weight staff did an excellent job. We look forward to coming back every time. We are in town all the best.
