This is my first time being here. When we showed up, they made us wait for like 5 minutes or so even though there were a plenty of unoccupied tables. I think they might have been short staffed. We ordered the ‘2 for you’, a half HAM AND GRUYERE MELT sandwich and one cup of Italian soup (soup of the day). I think the atmosphere was great as it gives you some comfy feelings for some reasons. The food taste was not bad, but definitely not worth the money I paid as the portion were very SMALL, especially the cup of soup. It was literally a CUP. The combination cost me $11 + tips. We only ordered the sandwiches and soup and they weren’t that busy at the time when we dining in. When our food was served, we still hadn’t received the waters we’d requested. I was a little disappointed as I had a somewhat high hopes for the place.

I gave this a 3 only because the restaurant is very nice & the service was great. We were sat right away and the waitress was quick and attentive. They do have a great selection of healthy foods but the portion sizes weren’t that great. All of our plates had very little eggs. The potatoes were very salty and the avocado on the avocado toast was also very salty. Other comments (not complaint) was that the gravy had a little bit of a spice to it. The turkey burger was very good. Another + is that they have an outside patio.

Excellent experience as always. The GM Phillip was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing dining experience. The food was cooked to perfection and the hospitality was on point. I highly recommend this location for dining. Thanks!

EXTREMELY long wait. Once we got to the table the waiter was over in a timely manner for our order. Drinks came at a decent wait time. Then…. Nothing. We didn’t even see our waiter with other customers let alone for drink refills. We waited over 45 minutes for our food…. Didn’t see the water once. We were getting ready to leave when the food finally came. The food was decent, but not worth the wait time.
