    I’m just going to tell my personal experience. They are super nice and the food has been exceptional. People are reviewing them like a 5 star Michelin restaurant. It needs to be rated for what it is and they are better than most. It kills me to see people rate a chain like they are, with something they aren’t. Rate them for the level they are. We just moved here a year ago and we’ve been more than pleased with the food and people we’ve encountered. That’s how they should be rated. Just my opinion. We love this location and we frequently go. Use your reviews with that understanding is my opinion. This is no disrespect to the chain.

    It's a shame you can't post pictures. I was served broccoli today that appeared rotten on the ends. Won't go back.

    The restaurant offered a great dining experience with friendly, attentive staff and a solid food selection. I ordered the teriyaki filet skewers, which were cooked perfectly and paired well with the rice. While the green beans weren't my favorite, the overall service stood out- especially my waitress, who was kind and very helpful.
