    Great service No. 1. Food well liked by all. But a bit price increase noticed. Will return when meeting people at Ft L airport. Very convenient A bit surprised food lunch service stopped at 2:45 pm as warned by receptionist although 3 pm more possible. Overall a great stop. Ample parking. May want to ask for type of seating you want. We ask outside always but better seating near boats and tree that one would ask for. Overall very nice lunch and will return whenever leaving Ft. L Airport. Again service exceptional.

    The server was great, but the food was terrible. Also had to wait so long for the hostess and Val should be free.
