    Our server Rubin was delightful and the food (curry chicken with papaya) was outstanding. The garlic bread was delicious! I highly recommend. BTW we sat outside in front of the outdoor fireplace.

    We went on a Monday night and had Mark as a server, was an absolutely wonderful experience. Noise was moderate and we were still able to hear the music and hear each other talking. Food was wonderful and filling and service was wonderful

    This was an amazing experience. I didn’t realize they always have live music. The guitar duo was great and sounded really good - played great songs. The food was so tasty and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent. Highly recommend.

    We traveled from San Antonio and Corpus Christi Texas so Mom could have Mrs. Knott's chicken dinner. This is what Mom asked for her 90th birthday dinner...how could we refuse? It was as delicious as she remembered from her last visit over 25 years ago. We are so full...we have leftover chicken and had to take our pie to-go. Mom enjoyed her rhubarb and we all enjoyed the chicken, rolls with boysenbery preserves, and the cabbage. Great meal! Pleasant staff and great service!

    The staff is really nice and attentive. The water they prepared for my 16-month daughter has a short straw. I think the waiter cut it shorter, so it’s easier for her to drink. The happy hour menu is great as well. We almost finished ordering the entire drink and food menu 😂
