    Coming in to this location I am never disappointed, with food or service. I dined in on Tuesday with my friend and they have a DJ, it creates a really cool atmosphere to order some delicious appetizers and drinks. Our waitress was great!

    After Sunday mass my family and I come in for their Sunday Brunch weekly. It does not disappoint, the food is always fresh and warm. My favorite is the omelette station. It’s pretty awesome to see how everyone works together to pull off such great service and great food all at once. We always feel for welcome. We will keep coming back.
