    Myself, my husband and daughter ate at the Royal Green last night to celebrate my Birthday. The staff was super nice and accommodating. I wanted a more quiet table and they seated us in the lower room which was wonderful, our server Andrew was extremely helpful and had such a nice friendly demeanor. The food was delicious and very fresh. We all loved our dinners. We had a carrot cake bread pudding for dessert which was delicious and the manager actually gave it to us complementary for my birthday, which I thought was so nice! I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be definitely be dining there again!

    Great, service. The host was so happy, warm and welcoming - great way to start a meal since we were running late and a little stressed. Delicious - only suggestion was that food was a tad bit salty and not served warm enough - but I like extra hot!
