Wonderful salad. Good variety of pasta dishes. Excellent service from Seth and partners. Small rooms break up the restaurant and make the space quieter than most chain restaurants.

For a national food chain it still has a quaint atmosphere. The food selection was varied and delicious. The staff, from the hostess to the servers were friendly and professional.
