    The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was great and the holiday season was well represented. Our server, I believe her name was Roberta was atrocious submiss and not attended at all, but that was not the instance with all the other servers they made sure that we were taken care of.

    First I will say that the main thing is our server was fantastic. Kind, attentive and accommodating. I was having lunch with my baby’s god mother with baby in tow. The place is not ADA compliant . I had to remove the car seat from the stroller and carry them separately up a short flight of steps. But they sat us in a corner booth and it worked out perfectly. It is a smaller restaurant so having the stroller there was a little bulky but no one made complaints. I can’t remember our servers name but he was very kind. Made every food adjustment I requested, the food itself was very good. I had the crab dip, burger (with adjustments) and a peach mocktail (I recommend requesting ginger beer to replace ginger ale. Trust me.) my friend got the birrira cheesesteak sandwich and the clam chowder. She enjoyed both. When I needed to warm up a bottle (my baby is 2 months old) he graciously provided a mug of hot water. In summary: my only complaint was accessibility, doable but very inconvenient to have to carry a stroller up steps. The star was our waiter, he was kind and accommodating.
