Over the past month, I've tried to eat there three times, and I won't be going back again! Twice, they were closed during their advertised hours, with a note on the door. The last time, I called at 7:10 just to confirm they'd be open. We were assured they would be operating until 8 PM. When we arrived at 7:40, the open sign was lit, but when we walked in, the waitress curtly told us they weren't serving anymore and then walked away. I let her know this was our last attempt and that we wouldn’t be returning. It’s unfortunate that this rude blonde is ruining what used to be a great place! However, Pen Can provided us with a wonderful meal that night! Green Gables is excellent too, and Blue Stone Pizza is the best!

The baked potato was decent, but the green beans were lacking in taste and had a muddy texture. We also discovered a dessert option that I hadn't seen on the menu. We decided to share a brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and caramel syrup, which was a delightful end to our meal. Overall, the place was clean, and the staff were friendly, making for a pleasant dining experience.

The food was outstanding, the service was top-notch, the prices were fair, and the staff was warm and inviting. read more The food was outstanding, the service was top-notch, the prices were fair, and the staff was warm and inviting.

Our server, CJ, was fantastic—very friendly and attentive. She even went out of her way to prepare a special chocolate cake and ice cream dessert for my friend's daughter! The chef also helped serve our meals and made sure we were happy with our food. Considering the price point, the quality of the dishes was impressive (I have a background in the food service industry, and two of my family members own restaurants). I was especially impressed with the fresh tossed salad. I will definitely return to this restaurant the next time I'm in the area to meet my friend!

April made my birthday celebration unforgettable! I haven't visited a bar in years, but her vibrant energy will certainly bring me back again. read more April made my birthday celebration unforgettable! I haven't visited a bar in years, but her vibrant energy will certainly bring me back again.
