Well we ordered a cob salad with chicken. It was not good. Chicken was cold on the salad and barely any toppings of cheese. Not good for 24 bucks. We also got the honey glazed chicken which was also cold. Even the patatos were cold. We could have returned it yes. But it took so long to get. I guess it will be warmed up at home. On top of that the lady we asked to reclean the table sprayed the person I was with with cleaner solution and laughed about it. She literally had to get up and go to the washroom to clean off. I had herd good things about this place but was sadly disappointed. Good luck to you if you try them out.
Ps they did give us a discount. But that's beside the point. All things were easy to make.

Met up with a friend here after many years, so we were looking for a casual, comfy spot to reconnect—and this place was perfect. The atmosphere was inviting, and the overall vibe made us feel welcome right away. Tricia, our server, was absolutely wonderful. She went above and beyond to make our visit memorable, and we never felt rushed despite staying for quite a while.
We ordered the West Coast salad, wings, bang bang shrimp, and pretzel bites. The only item we didn’t love was the pretzel cheese dip—it was a bit watery and developed an odd taste once it cooled. Aside from that, everything else was delicious!

My husband and I had dinner at this location many many times and have always enjoyed our experience: but tonight was a whole different experience! Our server was as pleasant as can be but the food was so disappointing! Is there a new chef?
