The service was quite slow but that is to be understood when new staff are being trained at the start of the season. What is not to be understood is that we were served an arugula salad with bad arugula, comprised of wilted and yellow leaves, and burned naan. More concerning was a dirty restroom at 5:30 pm with dirty sink, floor,, commode and overflowing trash can when the restaurant had just opened at 5pm. And, the light switch fell off the wall leaving exposed wiring. We hope they turn things around.

The drinks are amazing! But the pesto chicken was on the dry side. The steak was better. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Service: Dine in Food: 2 Service:... read more The drinks are amazing!
