    Service was amazing, as always. The new location is beautiful—great layout, very classy. My wife appreciated being able to get multiple servings of salad dressings. This restaurant truly needed the move to showcase its full potential. I'm so glad they did—it’s going to thrive!

    Very disappointed in the new location. It lost the classy ambience. I am not sure why, but the service was horrible. this was not an issue in the past. Hopefully, they get their act together because the food is excellent.
