    Only one BIG thing - we sat outside. The metal chairs are grossly uncomfortable and get VERY cold when the temperature drops. It made us all wish we had either gone inside or gone to another restaurant. Sorry, but some padding is REQUIRED.

    We enjoyed the patio dining! Since they weren't busy, we never felt rushed to order or to vacate! Food was delicious and prompt! Four friends left full and happy!
