A friend and I went for lunch on a very unbusy Saturday. When the food came, her chicken fingers and fries were stone cold. She sent them back and they were replaced quickly. I ordered french onion soup (served without a spoon) and a small caesar salad. The salads were lovely. The soup I will pass on in the future. The servers were lovely.
My low rating comes from tables not being bussed and not great food. There were two tables next to us that had dirty dishes and leftover food on them the whole time we were there. The table on the other side of us left, and that table wasn't cleaned. There were very few people in the whole place.

Walked in 230pm on Sat, place was filthy, was told to find a seat there were at least 10 dirty tables. Place was not busy with customers at the time, we may have missed a rush but not a welcome environment. There was not a clean table available. If they cant have a clean table how are they are going to serve food. OJ`s is off the list.

They music was great and the Vibe was absolutely relaxing.
