    It was a great first time experience, pricey but food was great. The panini could’ve used more steak but was thick in the cheese area so it worked out, fries were hot! Definitely a fan of that.

    It’s always good, that’s why we eat here. There WAS an issue with my wife’s meal (an Asian dish that tasted like it was overcooked) but it was remedied right away by our favorite server, thanks Judy!
