My dining companion also had dry french fries. Although the tenders were removed from the bill, it was surprising to see such a simple dish go wrong. The restaurant was not busy, yet we still felt cold during our meal.

The only dish suitable for pescetarians that I found was the salmon, which was a bit dry, but tasted better with the honey pepper sauce on the side (which I highly recommend!). The mashed potatoes were delicious, but the caesar salad was bland. The spinach artichoke dip was tasty, as were the soft pretzels once you brush off the excessive salt. The alcoholic drinks were weak. Overall, the food was mediocre. However, our server, Bill, was excellent. He was friendly, engaging, and attentive. Vegetarian options are very limited, with hardly any main courses available besides appetizers and desserts.
