    Was very refreshing to see a waitress stay on top of her job the way Victoria does, especially while working alone. The best waitress/waiter we’ve had in a long time. Very attentive to everybody, stays on top of things, very kind and professional. She needs a raise!

    Good atmosphere, but the food here is severely lacking. The fish and chips were greasy, and the fish breading was soggy. Clearly just blasted in a microwave. Terrible. The deli sandwich was over $24. The meat wasn't even warmed. The marble rye was dried and hard. A $24 deli sandwich! What a disappointment.

    I was very disappointed with my recent visit with my family. From the moment we arrived, the staff showed little interest in welcoming or engaging with guests—no smiles, greetings, or basic gestures of hospitality—which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. The food was also quite expensive for the portion sizes. Most importantly, the staff need training to be more friendly and attentive to create a positive dining experience. We will not be returning until we see improvements reflected in the reviews and overall service.
