Our server Aaron (spelling? ) was wonderful- attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and cared about each of my elderly father's needs which is not often found in restaurants these days. Food was very yummy, covered a wide variety of diets and preferences, and was warm/quickly served. Only slowdown was at dessert course, but it was at the end of the night right before closing time. We would go back again and again as well as recommend for anyone looking for good food at good price in a lovely atmosphere.

The food and drinks were really awful. I’ve eaten at this chain before and I am really disappointed. I’ve never ordered a margarita and left it almost completely untouched. The risotto was so cheesy it was inedible. The highlight of the meal was the biscuits.

Party of 8 + baby and they sat us in the booth that was circular. It felt like our conversations were just for us. The room was full of customers but the sound stayed moderate. It was quite magical. Had a beautiful brunch, it was delicious and the price point was amazing. We all felt grateful to be together and dining at such a special place. Thank FF and staff

Service was great, wine and cocktails were good, for dinner chicken fried steak was very salty and tough, meatloaf was not seasoned enough. Crab and artichoke dip was ok but I will not order again. This is the second time this location food was not great so I won’t be back.

I didn’t know we had to order brunch which wasn’t what I wanted to do. It was expensive and the food was fair. I love FF in general so maybe this just wasn’t my best visit. Our waitress was great!
