    Good food but a bit pricey for for lunch. Service was a little slow and it was noisy. Still, I’d recommend if you’re looking for a place to eat for a group due to the wide variety of menu options and good food.

    Our server barely checked on us, didn’t great us, and was making uncomfortable jokes at the end of our meal. We made the reservation for a birthday (and said as much when we made it) but neither the hostess nor the server acknowledged it.

    When I first arrived I had to wait 5 minutes for someone to clean my table. I had to also ask my waitress for fresh lemons because the first batch was bad. The Chicago Hot Dogs for the appetizer was perfect! We also had the spinach artichoke dip which is our favorite! I had the Swiss avocado burger and it was made just how I like it! My friend had the fish and chips and it was cooked to perfection!
