Came here last week as a walk in, food and service was amazing, as well as last night . However, last week we noticed a man in a hat falling asleep at a table next to us. Tonight, the same man was just standing in the middle of the restaurant staring at people. We assume he is the manager or something, regardless it was very uncomfortable and strange. We won’t be returning for a third time.

The service was almost the worst service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. The waitress stood in front of us, just staring, looking at other people talking on her phone texting on her phone. It was almost impossible to get anything we needed however, the food was well worth a return visit.

We dined here on Christmas Eve with six adults and one toddler. The restaurant was very welcoming and already had a high chair set up for us at our table when we arrived. They did not have a kids menu, but we ordered mac & cheese which they brought out ahead of the rest of the food. Everyone got a different entree, and everything was good especially the pasta dishes, tv dinner, and the Reuben sandwich. This was the perfect spot for our group. Good food, cozy ambiance, great service, and still casual enough for kids.
