We went for birthday, food was great, service was also great. The atmosphere was a little dead, not many people, but that was due to it being around 3 in the afternoon.

Whitney, our Waitress, was warm, engaging, and she smiled wherever she went! The food was good and NOT skimpy, but a bit pricey. I wish they offered more than two salad dressings.
