- PCPatricia Currie6 days ago5.0Took folks for a great meal to show appreciation and celebrate the New Year. Everything was great and delish. I had the quarter rib fall off the bone did not disappoint. Jess our server was fabulous efficient and friendly. Went around 4 pm timing was perfect not too busy or noisy.
- NJNatalie JasmineJan 1, 20265.0We stopped by on New Year’s, and even though the staff had clearly had a long day, the service was still great. They were attentive and kept everything moving smoothly. The food was good as always, but I was especially happy to see the new addition to the kids' menu, the dish that has pasta, cheese fingers, and chicken strips. The ambiance was perfect too, lots of good chatter and a lively, welcoming energy throughout the place
- SSSaraDec 27, 20253.0They have a really big menu. I got the pesto pizza and I was really happy with my choice. It was delicious. You can also have unlimited bread rolls which is nice. Personally I feel that there are better restaurant options in the same price range but it wasn’t bad at all. Its a very family friendly restaurant and they have robots bring your food which could be appealing to kids.
- JFJennifer ForbesDec 22, 20255.0Caryn was awesome. We had issues with getting a table reserved for 11 and had two separate tables to accommodate our party. She managed the arrangement amazingly and made us feel like we weren’t so far away from each other. Also supplying some much needed early bread to the kiddos while we waited for our party to all arrive.
- EEElizabeth EDec 21, 20255.0Caryn was very knowledgeable when myself and my mother went out for lunch. I eat gluten-free, and she was able to indicate that one of the options I had been eyeing was deceptive, and the soup was thickened with flour. That was much appreciated. In addition, she came around several times to make sure that we had everything we needed. She even brought out take out boxes without us asking because she saw how we were doing!
