    We did a 3 course. Appetizer, salad and dessert. Would have liked a little more cheese. Our nacho chips were stale but they brought us some fresh ones. Didn’t care for the peppers and sausage that came with the appetizer. I would of rather had the different types of bread pieces like they use to. I think pretzels, celery, carrots or grape tomatoes would be good alternatives. Would like more apples. Would be neat if you could choose what items you want. The bananas were a little mushy. Felt like we were a little rushed through our meal. We were done in 45 minutes. Maybe offer a soup and salad combo? One of our favorite restaurants.

    Always a great time. Kaylee usually waits on us and is awesome, but this time Zoha (Z) waited on us and she was awesome as well. We have been going 20 plus years and it never disappoints.
