That was the exact time it took me to get from home to the restaurant. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by Kristine, who promptly seated me. She was my server and was attentive, patient (it took me a bit to decide what to order since everything sounded amazing), and super friendly. My meal was prepared just as I requested (I swapped the ciabatta for an English muffin) and was served hot within 15 minutes of placing my order. I had a great view of the kitchen and enjoyed watching the staff work together as a team. The restaurant was clean, from the tables to the floors, and I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere. I'm hopeful that on my next visit, the food, cleanliness, and friendly vibe will remain consistent with the wonderful experience I had today.
