The waitresses appeared unkempt, with dirty clothes and hair, and seemed unprofessional, struggling to explain the menu or dishes. Despite the restaurant being almost empty, our waitress rushed us. Aside from the unpleasant service, the food was quite enjoyable! The salmon and filet mignon with blue cheese were tender and flavorful, and the bang bang shrimp appetizer was delicious.

We really enjoy this cozy spot. It may seem modest, but the food is excellent.

We chose to go on Father’s Day for a nicelunch. We called ahead to reserve a 12:30pm table for four. When we were seated at approximately 12:25pm, we sat for quite afew minutes until the hostess took our drink order. She then came back and took our food order. She was working hard to seatpeople and try to do what she could. Actually running in her high heels through the dining area to try and covereverything. She brought out my soup and the kids muffins fairly soon. As we approached an hour of sitting there, I caught theattention of the only waitress working the floor. Before I could even ask, she said “your food is coming up, I’m the onlyone here”. It was well over an hour until we received our lunch order. My son had ordered the burger and asked for it to beplain. It came out with all the treatments of Mayo, onions, etc. When we caught the hostess’s attention, we told her that theburger was ordered plain. She said she would send it through again. I asked if it could be less than an hour this time becausehe had to get to work. She said she would rush it through the kitchen. When it came back out, he took about three bites (as seenin the attached photo) it was basically raw. He didn’t eat it past that point. My turkey sandwich was crusty on top and soggyon the bottom. I ate it because I was hungry. I never got a drink refill during this time, my glass sat with nothing but ice forthe last hour of my meal. Finally, after over an hour and a half, I had to go up front and ask if I could pay so we couldleave. The hostess pulled up our order and as I handed her my card, I told her that the second burger was raw. There was noemotion or apology, she just ran the card. I am not a super picky patron, and I am usually a very generous tipper. The servicelevel

We didn 't have a wait to be seated at lunchtime on a Friday. Charming little restaurant. Definitelytry the veggie wrap, cucumber orzo salad, and/or the spinach/artichoke/crab dip! It was all delicious. They do have areasonably priced kid 's menu that includes a drink with the meal. If it weren 't for the service charge or the wait, I 'd give it5 stars. (If you pay by gift card or cash, they will discount the service charge)
