We didn't care for the coleslaw but that's not the restaurant's fault, we just don't like celery seed. I had fries and didn't care for them but that's just my preference as they aren't crispy or seasoned. My mom got the party potatoes and she didn't love them but that again was just our preference on flavors. The next Friday I'm in town I'd definitely go back for the fish.

No a place I'd recommend.It has the potential to be swanky with a retro jazz bar feel possible with a few changes but as is.... Meh.The salad was small and basically shredded cheese with a few bits of lettuce. The fries were somehow all soggy. The baked beans didn't mention they had pork in them. Everything was almost bland in taste. And again ... Better staff would help. Like why are the wait staff not bringing the food but the kitchen staff is....?
