    Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Met a good friend and thankfully were tucked in a back corner booth (quieter) and could enjoy our conversation. It is a little noisy when crowded, but not awful- and tables are placed a nice distance apart- unlike some restaurants where the tables are on top of each other. Resisted the bread pudding French toast today, but may need to go back soon to try that! Only disappointment was that they didn’t have their blueberry scones- the absolute best I’ve ever had!

    Enjoyed dining here very much! Able to secure reservations for four at a prime time of evening! Waitress was exceptional! We enjoyed the scrumptious, outstanding food at a leisurely pace! Both Grandboys looooved their food as did we, the Grandparents! Made it to the play at the Children’s Theatre in plenty of time to get decent parking and relax before the play started. We will be back-for a date night!!!
