We are regular customers.
I ordered the Cajun chicken, taste was ok very small flattened piece of chicken. Pricey for such a small piece. However, the mashed potatoes were cold and the asparagus was so woody you couldn't eat it.
Our server asked if I wanted another order of asparagus but I declined. I did ask that she tell the chef about the overcooked shriveled woody asparagus. My husband had the salmon dinner with no mashed potatoes or asparagus. He had coleslaw instead that didn't seemed dressed.
I guess it depends on what night of the week you eat here. This was Friday night before 5 pm.

We had a wonderful time today celebrating our friend’s birthday; Tracy was amazing and had us totally covered the whole time. She was always on top of things and helped us with the cake we brought and even lit all the candles. The food was incredible and the atmosphere is really nice and casual. Would definitely recommend it for a birthday or celebration.
