    We had such a great experience at this location. After a full weekend of trunks, treats, and birthdays we stopped in for dinner before our 5yo and 2yos fell asleep heading home. The staff were helpful and welcoming. They clarified points about our order and quickly set us up for dinner without meltdowns. We felt so welcome and the hospitality was top notch! Cookies are also absolute perfection. Thanks to this great team for helping us finish the weekend out strong.
