What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners often praise the attentive and friendly service, with specific mentions of servers like Cooper and Jaidynn, and appreciate the improvements in food quality over the years. While the atmosphere is generally described as cozy, some reviews note issues with food temperature or quality on occasion, and one reviewer found the music too loud for dining.
"This is definitely a place where the entire experience mostly hinges on the server. The server we had was excellent. Food was prepared as expected with no errors. Drinks were refilled in a timely manner. Our group of 10 was very happy. Being able to make a reservation for a group of our size would have made this experience for both the guest and the staff a smoother process. Well done."

"Great evening with a large party and able to have conversations and relax! The menu is vast for adults and numerous options for kids! The restaurant was clean inside and out! The food was good and prepared to the right temperature! All the food looked appetizing! They accommodated us quickly for our large party to be seated together! The waitress was friendly and efficient! Parking was sbundant all around the building! It shares the same parking lot as a 54th Street Bar and Grill, which was extremely busy!"
