    Johnathan is an outstanding server. I requested a hot toddy and he made it happen. The octopus is always my favorite. French onion soup was so delicious. Expect a giant burger no matter which one you order. I went for lunch with a friend, we had a great time. Valet service is available. The atmosphere is top notch with the service and flavors to match. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. I love this restaurant lunch or dinner.
